"My friends describe me as a simple guy who is a hard worker and loves his family.

"I became interested in carving when a friend introduced me to some artisans who worked in carving. I saw the way they worked and it was so amazing that I started to learn. It was my friend Abdul Rasit who taught me, and two other carvers – Pak Dewa and Bli Kadek – were always there to answer my questions.

"My materials are plentiful and inexpensive, when compared to silver or gold. I work in bone and wood. My culture inspires me, and the natural world around me – flowers, leaves and animals. To improve my technique, I turn to books, the Internet and visiting other bone carvers.

"When I am challenged by a difficult design, I work until I can do it nicely. When someone likes it, the result is a very happy moment.

"In 2010 when my wife was pregnant with our second son, I didn't have enough money to pay the rent. We had no choice. We had to move to my father-in-law's house, where we stayed for five months.

"In the future, I hope can buy a new house for my family. I dream of giving my children the best possible education and helping my family, especially our parents."

Anne I ordered this to give to a friend but, when it arrived, I fell in love with it and decided to keep it and buy something else for my friend! I’ve worn it many times and had so many compliments on it - including from the friend who didn’t receive it!!!

I purchased this item for my teenaged son. He loved it, but loved it even more when it came with a hand-signed card from the artisan. Now when people compliment him on it, he recounts the artist's story.

The quality and craftsmanship is beautifully put together including the package. This necklace has been with me for a more than a little over a year and didn't break or wear. I did how ever ended up losing it (my own fault) and ended buying another. I consider it my good luck charm. It goes un notice this artist really spent the time making a quality and beautiful piece of art work. Thank you!

I have had this necklace for at least 5 years, and lost my origional necklace when I left for the AIR FORCE. my original necklace was perfect, and wore it every day until I, sadly lost it. I found it again here, and bought 2 for me and my fiancÃ©, yet again They were just as I had remembered, and we both wear them daily since. I just bought 4 more for our future children, and in case we Lose ours or taken from us. It's our family good luck charm. And I'll wear one for the rest of my life, truly, an amazing quality. I wish I could find the artist to thank him personally. It has truly changed my life. Thank you.
