Bio

"I was born in a Balinese village where the silver work is well-known to be the finest. I am the first born of two children. My parents were also silver craftsmen who wanted me to be an independent person, so they really taught me well to be strong. And the result of their teaching was that I could pay for my own school fees from my silver work. Since then, I rarely asked my parents to support my finances.

 

"As a village boy, my childhood was really fun. I loved going fishing with my friends in my neighborhood. Even today, fishing is one of the hobbies that I really enjoy. My education was ordinary, like that of other children, but my high school was a bit more interesting since I went to a vocational high school and learned about modern design. At the age of 16, I started to be serious in this field.

 

"At first, I was forced to learn about silver crafts, but then I found something that really drew me into silver crafting. My grandfather was the one who taught me. He was one of the elders in my village and also one of the most skillful silver craftsmen. Yet, he was not my only teacher, as I also learned from my parents-in-law. I met my wife when we were both learning about silver.

 

"Now I am married and we are blessed with two sons. Being a father is really amazing for me — many things have changed since I became a father. The old me was selfish and thought only about myself, but now my children are always in my thoughts. I am always thinking about how to prepare for their studies, provide for their needs and also prepare for their future.

 

"Thank God I'm a silver artisan in Bali, because the materials are easy to find here — from the silver, copper, and gold to the tools such as scissors, tongs and hammers. I have three part-time workers who help make all the designs that I create with my wife. I usually work with her to create beautiful designs. And mostly the inspiration comes from surrounding things."

    Being worn more than I expected
    This necklace works beautifully over long sleeved sweaters or around a collared shirt. It's quite light weight, but the blue stone and wired butterflies draw enough attention to make a notable statement.

    Unique gorgeous ring!
    I bought this ring for myself and I love it! Ari's attention to detail in the design and metals is outstanding...what a statement piece! I received it today and have already received 3 compliments on it! It is even more beautiful than the picture online. The 18kt gold is very shiny like the silver. This ring has become my new fave! I'd love to buy one for each of my girls using their birthstones, but I think it only comes in Blue Topaz which is my birthstone. If other stones are an option, please let me know. Thank you Ari!

    My favorite earrings!
    I bought these trying to replace my favorite earrings because I’d lost one. They were sterling silver and had I gotten them on a trip to Venice Beach, Ca. I was just sure I would never love another pair of earrings like the one I had lost. But I honestly do love these as much or more! I’m so glad I spotted them on this website!

    Wow! Unexpected Heirlooms
    Did not know what to expect. They are perfect in the length. They are definitely those which highlight the face. These are special in that the rectangles have lace and are the perfect width and length. They definitely are light enough and at the same time have some heft to them, which I love. You know you have them on your ears. They are showstoppers for real. Been looking for column-type earrings which will not get hidden and give a certain unforgettable presence to them. These do that for me. They are bound to get many compliments.

    I wear this gorgeous ring daily!
    Well made, finely detailed, and quite elegant! I wear this daily, and get compliments on it everywhere I go. I chose a looser fit because I work with my hands, and they can vary in size a bit from swelling. I would recommend choosing the smaller size if you’re between sizes- the open design is quite forgiving, but if the ring is loose, it can fall away from your hand and catch on something. It’s a beautiful ring, and worth wearing daily, as it doesn’t get in the way.

    My New Favorite Hoops

    Beautiful!
    These are probably my favorite earrings. The mixed metals allows them to be worn with either gold or silver. They are thick and substantial enough to look more expensive than they are. The intricate design adds interest without looking busy. I have had these for almost two years, and they are still in good shape--I haven't had any problems with the clasps. Highly recommend!

    My FAVORITES!
    I wish we could add photos when we do reviews! I absolutely LOVE these earrings! They are not as big as I thought they might be, and yet they are the PERFECT SIZE! They are so ornate and eye catching, and I have had several nice compliments on them already! They go with everything, too, casual or dressy. I appreciate the great craftsmanship and encourage you to order these. They will be your new favorites, too!

    Simply beautiful!
    These earrings are simple, but very pretty. They enhance the simplest of outfits to the most expensive dress!

    They really show bright against my hair
    I love the look and especially the length of these earrings. They have a nice long line that really stands out against my red hair. And since all my jewelry is silver, they match everything.
