This Sterling Silver and Cultured Pearl Pendant Necklace 'Miana Leaves' by Ketut Sulastri is a lovely pendant necklace that takes the shape of a miana leaf, a medicinal plant from the highlands of Bali. Handcrafted from sterling silver, the leaf features a decorative openwork design that dances around a cultured freshwater pearl, complementing its luster perfectly. The piece honors the artisan's heritage while offering her community a pathway toward opportunity.
Ketut Sulastri is a Balinese jewelry designer whose life and work are defined by resilience, artistry, and devotion to her craft. Born to parents who worked in construction, she began silversmithing as a child to help support her family, paying school fees while nurturing a quiet passion for design. By the age of 15, Ketut was already creating original pieces, blending the intricate beauty of Balinese arts and crafts with the evolving sensibility of contemporary jewelry. A decade later, she opened her own shop, a milestone that not only marked her independence but also her commitment to uplifting others. Today, she leads a collective of 20 neighborhood women, many of them homemakers, who are empowered with meaningful work through her designs. Working in sterling silver, gemstones, beads, and cord, Ketut continues to craft jewelry that honors her heritage while offering her community a pathway toward greater opportunity and dignity.
Handcrafted from 925 sterling silver and cultured freshwater pearl with a high polish finish, this necklace measures 27.5 inches in length, with a 2.4 x 1.2-inch pendant, and closes with a lobster claw clasp.
