Komang Budiarta

Be creative, build a good relationship with God and other people - this is the key to success. It is more than just a motto. I really believe it as part of my everyday life.

In the difficult economic situation in Indonesia and particularly in Bali, I always find a way to survive.

Since 2000, I have been fascinated by making jewelry of bone and horn. I never formally studied this particular field. Just by watching jewelers work, I encouraged myself to start creating. My recent designs focus on rings, earrings, pendants and body piercing jewelry. People tell me that they appreciate my large selection of designs. Also, even if they find similar items elsewhere, they tell me the quality is not as good as mine - great feedback that encourages me to try harder and harder to make the finest jewelry for my customers.
