These Red Rafflesia dangle earrings by Balinese artisan Wayan Asmana are inspired by the rafflesia, a flower indigenous to Indonesia. The earrings are crafted from sterling silver with a contrast of polished and oxidized finishes. They are centered by round garnets, which add a vibrant touch to the intricate floral design.
Wayan Asmana, born in 1957 in Celuk, Bali, is a master silversmith carrying forward his village’s centuries-old tradition of jewelry making. Raised in a family of artisans, he began learning silverwork in primary school, mastering tools, techniques, and design under the guidance of his parents. By high school, he was crafting and selling his own creations to support his education. After returning from college, he established his own workshop, producing both gold and silver jewelry inspired by Balinese culture. Today, Asmana oversees a workshop of fifteen artisans, fostering an atmosphere of harmony and dedication. His work, rooted in heritage yet crafted with contemporary appeal, sustains not only his family but also his community. Each piece reflects his commitment to preserving Balinese silversmithing, allowing wearers to share in the legacy of a culture where artistry is a way of life.
Handcrafted from sterling silver and garnet, these hook earrings measure 1.8 inches L x 0.6 inches W and feature a combination finish. Variations in the color and/or pattern of the stone are expected.
