Giri Tasmana

Giri Tasmana handcrafted sterling silver and gemstone jewelry

"I was born in 1995 in a Balinese town where most of the people work with silver. Workshops abound, as do shops selling our beautiful silver art.

"I'm single, and like travel and adventure.

"I'm the older of two children and my father is Komang Suartra, another featured artisan. I want to continue my father's silver artistry, but I have a different concept and themes in my designs. They tend to depict the floral and animal motifs that I love and want to preserve.

"My father began teaching me when I was in sixth grade. I began with the repoussé technique for embossing silver. A year later, I began making jewelry to sell to my classmates. I continued doing this until I graduated from the university, and now I'm setting up my own silver workshop.

"Indonesia is rich in flora and fauna species and these inspire my designs. I want to preserve their existence and also want to introduce them to others.

"I work with the help of three silversmiths who help me to craft my designs. In addition to sterling silver, I use cultured pearls, carved bone and gemstones, and work with semi-traditional tools, including a stove and polishing machine, solders, tongs and more."

Even though my birthday is August, I never had a peridot! This ring is truly lovely and can be worn casually or in more formal settings. I am so happy I purchased this as a gift to myself. I see it is available in many stones.........Get one for yourself!!

Received my "Hint of Twilight" garnet cuff bracelet. It is most beautiful. Thank you Girl Tasmana for such a beautiful keepsake. I was wondering if you would ever make a similar bracelet with sapphire instead of garnet. Thinking of a birthday present for my sister. Thanks so much.Linda Johnson

'Sparkling Crest', dangle earrings given 4 stars because look better in hand than when worn. The stone does not look like the photo, has more of a greyish coloring, extremely poor quality. Earring seen mainly from side. The earrings looked better when polished to a very high shine. Also if have an outfit that the earrings matches then the earrings are worth keeping. I have a top that is a perf... read more

I cannot put into words the happiness of wearing this piece of Bali art. I wear this with a garnet floral ring. The garnet is January' s birthstone and has warmth in color.

I almost passed these over, because I typically prefer darker/richer stones (even though this is my birthstone).I really love them though. They're luminous...and go with so many things. Plus, they have so much more personality than what you can usually find in a store.I could probably be tempted to buy them again with like a deep aquamarine, to be honest.
