This 'Oneiric Wolf' necklace by Rosalia Tarigan is a beautiful symbol of community, loyalty, and the cunning nature of the wolf. The sterling silver pendant, enhanced with a polished finish, features a wolf motif with traditional Javanese details. The pendant hangs from a serpentine chain, creating a sophisticated and elegant look. This necklace is a testament to Rosalia's commitment to reviving a fading tradition and her belief that jewelry can be both a beautiful accessory and a symbol of resilience and collaboration.
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 Indonesia from 925 sterling silver, this necklace measures between 20 and 21.3 inches in length and 0.1 inches in width. The pendant measures 2 inches in length and 1.4 inches in width, has a combination finish, and secures with a toggle clasp.
