Sterling Silver Onyx Tortoise Button Earrings 'Heaven's Black Tortoise' These 'Heaven's Black Tortoise' button earrings by Independent Artisans are a precious and unique piece from Balinese artisan Anya. Inspired by tortoises, which are related to wisdom and immortality, the earrings feature these tender creatures with speckled shells and gorgeous onyx stones as the centerpieces. This design beautifully blends simplicity with animal motifs and traditional Balinese designs, a reflection of Anya's optimism and his vision to innovate while preserving cultural heritage.
Born in Bali in 1995, this artisan grew up surrounded by silversmiths and jewelers, with both grandparents and parents rooted in the craft. His fascination began in childhood, wandering his parents’ gallery and selling alongside them at exhibitions by the age of 13. Today, he creates handmade silver jewelry that blends simplicity, animal motifs, and traditional Balinese designs, aiming to resonate with people across generations. Dedicated not only to his own work but also to teaching, he mentors a team of ten silversmiths, encouraging innovation while preserving cultural heritage. Known for his optimism and patience, he sees jewelry as both an entrepreneurial and creative pursuit — one that strengthens his community by sustaining livelihoods and skills. Inspired by his mother’s creativity and resilience, his vision is to continually innovate, infusing Balinese tradition into fresh designs for a global audience.
Crafted in 925 sterling silver with onyx, these earrings measure 1.2 inches L x 0.7 inches W x 0.2 inches D and weigh 0.21 oz. They feature a combination finish and a post earring style.
