These 'Dark Drop' earrings by Nyoman Rupadana are a sophisticated homage to the mastery of traditional Balinese silversmithing. The elegant teardrop-shaped dangle earrings are crafted from unique, naturally textured lava stone, with delicate sterling silver accents made using the granulation technique. The combination of the dark, organic stone and the intricate silverwork creates a stunning contrast that feels both earthy and luxurious. These earrings are perfect for adding an element of natural beauty and cultural heritage to any outfit.
Born in Gianyar in 1969, Nyoman Rupadana grew up in a large farming family, the seventh of nine children. To help his parents, he began working in a jewelry workshop at a young age, earning coins for food and clothing. Over time, silverwork became his livelihood, and in 1994 he married his neighbor, with whom he shares both a family and his craft. Nyoman’s designs combine Balinese motifs and engravings with contemporary fashion trends, reflecting both tradition and adaptability. Though he faced hardships, including economic setbacks after the 2002 Bali terrorist attack, he persevered with resilience and faith. Today, he and his wife create jewelry that embodies cultural heritage, dedication, and artistry. For Nyoman, the joy of seeing his designs appreciated in the market is the true reward, a reflection of his parents’ lesson to honor one’s gifts through hard work.
Handcrafted in Indonesia from 925 sterling silver and lava stone, these dangle earrings measure 2.1 inches in length and 0.6 inches in width. They feature a combination finish and secure with hooks. Please note that some variations in color and/or pattern are to be expected.
