Kadek Wijanegara silver and gemstone jewelry

"I was born in a Balinese village and silver jewelry has been part of my life since I was little. My parents and most people in my neighborhood are silversmiths. When I was still in elementary school, I already knew how to make simple jewelry.

"'If you make something, don't use only your hands but also all of your heart. This way everything you make will have spirit in it,' my parents said. This is really true. When I compare the pieces that are made with all of my heart, they are much nicer than those crafted only to finish the item. They look similar but are different.

"My favorite activity is to combine the skill I have with the beauty of Balinese tradition and nature – like dance, carvings, beaches and landscapes – to create silver jewelry. I love something simple, comfortable and good to look at.

"I graduated with a four-year bachelor's degree majoring in information systems. Apart from study, I really want to reach success in life, especially in silver jewelry, because I want to continue the family tradition and also be able to support my youngest brother's education. He is still in secondary school and I want him to get a better education than I did."

The are beautifully made earrings. The blue topaz is a lovely color with nice size stones that are set with gold accents. The omega backs are very comfortable and allow the earring to sit perfect balanced.

These earrings are outstanding. The backs really help keep them from drooping. The stones are a lovely shade of soft blue and the tiny dots of gold a great design element. The backsides are designed and finished as well as the front. So happy with these.

This bracelet is even more beautiful in person. The simple gold accents help to draw your eyes to the intricate design of the bracelet and provide extra sparkle. While it may appear "dainty", it stands out as a solid and sturdy piece of jewelry that can be worn every day and for special occasions.

I think they're really pretty. I had bought a citrine ring back in January and I've been on the lookout for earrings. So I saw these and I liked the carving- I love a mix of metals and Stones. So they were perfect. Next ill be looking for a necklace
