NEWEST COLLECTION

One of our newest collections is Ombak Segara Collection, which is inspired by the ripples of the waves in the ocean of Segara in Kuta, Bali. The technique used to make this collection is traditional one called “Bun Jawan”, which denotes a combination of filigree and granulation methods, a special characteristic of the art of silver in Celuk Village, Bali.

Besides Ombak Segara, we also have Batik Indonesia as one of our newest collections. This collection is inspired by batik patern around Indonesia, particularly Batik Kawung and Batik Parang patterns, as the representative from batik diversity across Indonesia.

This collection is brought to life through the ancient technique in traditional silver making history called “Bun Jawan” (which denotes a combination of filigree and granulation methods) and “Gergajian” (a method where the pattern drawn on the metal alloy is cut by a special metal blade). Both techniques need special attention, patience, and caution from its silver craftsmen, to produce a high-quality, elegant, and beautiful silver jewelry.
