Sterling Silver Link Bracelet Crafted in Java 'Balinese Wall' This 'Balinese Wall' bracelet by Independent Artisans is a stunning piece from designer Rosalia Tarigan, a testament to her and Ibu Indun's determination to revive a fading Javanese silver tradition. The rectangular links, detailed with intricate vine and circle motifs, are reminiscent of an ancient wall, each piece telling a story of resilience and collaboration. The combination finish adds a beautiful depth, highlighting the delicate craftsmanship. This bracelet is not just an accessory; it's a piece of living history, embodying the enduring soul of silver jewelry and the spirit of a community that refuses to let its heritage fade.
In the early 2000s, a business trip to East Java introduced this designer to a fading tradition: local silver workshops that had once thrived but were now closing. Determined to revive the craft, she partnered with Ibu Indun, a widowed silversmith, to restore an old workshop. Together with her sister and extended family members, they rebuilt production using traditional tools and techniques while blending modern design elements. She oversees design, marketing, and office work, while Ibu Indun leads the craftsmanship. Their collections combine silver’s timeless beauty with pearls and gemstones sourced from Bali, where partner artisans assist in gem-setting and finishing. Though the journey began with door-to-door sales, government sponsorships soon opened doors to national and international exhibitions. Today, the workshop sustains families in East Java, with each design celebrating resilience, collaboration, and the enduring soul of silver jewelry.
Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver, this bracelet measures 7 inches L x 0.6 inches W and weighs 1.20 oz. It features a combination finish and a toggle clasp.
