Bio

"My name is Nyoman Rupadana, but everyone calls by my last name. I was born in Gianyar in 1969. People know me as a shy, humble and honest man. I love playing badminton, volleyball, soccer as well as gardening and farming.

 

"Many people in my hometown work with silver. My parents were both farmers and I was the seventh of nine children. To help my parents with expenses, I began to work in my friend's dad's jewelry workshop when I was in fourth grade. They paid me a dime or two so I could buy lunch at school, and also gave me some clothes.

 

"After graduating from high school, I returned home, determined to work on my own. With 25 grams of silver, I began crafting jewelry to sell.

 

"In 2002, my sales lowered dramatically due to a terrorist attack in Bali, and many others suffered at the time.

 

"In 1994, I married a beautiful woman who used to be my neighbor and we have two sons and a daughter. My wife helps me create silver jewelry. I am so honored to have a beautiful family and see my children grow.

 

"I feel most at peace when my jewelry sells in the market and people appreciate my work. My designs are based on current fashion trends and include Balinese motifs and engravings.

 

"My parents once told me that if you are good at something, you have to express it through hard work and not waste a gift from God."

    Black Goes With Everything!
    I love these Crescent Lace Earrings! They go with so many of my black stone and silver necklaces. The filigree is a lovely touch which makes them quite feminine. They are nice and light and do not weigh my earlobes down. They are great to wear with a solid black or black and white outfit and they stand out as quite beautiful and unique! I highly recommend them and recommend the artisan!

    The craftsmanship is very good. These are lightweight and a nice size, substantial but not too large. I have dark curly hair, and the matte black stone and bright, delicate silver work create a subtle, mysterious effect against my hair.

    Small But Unique
    I like these earrings! They are very small and the metal is not as shiny as shown in the photo so they have a kind of heirloom look. Since most of my hoops are much larger this pair makes a nice addition to my earring collection as now I have some variety in size. The design is very nice with the rope-like edges.

    Beautiful earrings with a delicate design
    I bought these earring because my son loves when I wear animal themed jewelry. Of course, a working woman can only own so many pairs of giraffe earrings! These were a lovely compromise: he gets his birds, I get something delicate and lovely that doesn't feel themed. The color is a darker orange, with goes nicely with my red hair and makes the design stand out better than it might. The body of the earrings is extremely solid, despite that delicate appearance. My only criticism is that I wish that the wire themselves were a touch more substantial. Still, they aren't flimsy. A good purchase that I am pleased with.

    Lovely and lightweight
    Great size (almost 1.5?) and thin enough to be very lightweight so perfect for everyday wear. I also like the earwire/hinge/clasp in back. The wire is plenty long so little chance of pinching in back and it is secure.The only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is because the way they hang on MY ears. I can't see any bright silver?only dark so they look like dark metal instead of the silver they are.

    Add pizazz ~ Love love love these earrings
    First time I wore them I was at home & didn’t bother with secure spacers for the wires. While reaching on a ladder 1 fell out & cracked & broke on the tile floor. I immediately ordered a replacement pair which arrived promptly. I now have 2 similar but different pair. The work is spectacular

    It is beautiful, but

    Very pleased with these
    The design of these earrings is delicate yet dramatic: an impressive balancing act by the artist! The lava rock is matte black, no irregularities, very linear; the silver elements are beautifully crisp and detailed, all curves and filigree-like tracery. Beautiful proportions. These earrings look especially great if you wear your hair up or pulled back in a ponytail.
