About this item: Flitting amid .925 sterling silver frangipani blossoms, beautiful butterflies whisper of island summers. Buana crafts the images in silver and adds the allure of cultured freshwater iridescent dyed peacock pearls to these exquisite earrings. Earrings hang from .925 sterling silver hooks. The earrings measure 1.9" long by .8" wide. About our Artist: Like most people who were born and live in Gianyar Regency, Buana has been surrounded by handicrafts since he was a child. Gianyar is a part of Bali known throughout the world for its beautiful landscapes and exceptional artistic legacy. Handicrafts like shadow puppets made of cowhide, woodcarving and silver jewelry are created there in towns like Tegalalang, Ubud, Sukawati and Celuk. In 1990, Buana decided to learn to craft silver jewelry from a friend in Celuk. He learned it all, from the very basic skills like sanding, polishing and making plates to very advanced techniques. Supported by his family, Buana has continued his profession as a silversmith. I am thankful to God for giving me such a great gift so I can make a living for my family. Not much, perhaps, but enough for our simple way of life, he says. Hopefully through Novica I can offer a better future to my wife and two children....
