Story Behind the Art:
My name is Asmara Putra, which literally means, 'son of love.' I was born in 1991 in a part of Bali famous for its silver jewelry. My father is a master silversmith. I watched him and my mother craft silver jewelry ever since I was a boy. When I was in junior high school, they began teaching me our family art and I learned about materials, tools and techniques. I really like Bali's engraving motifs, and I include them in most of the jewelry I craft. When I was just starting, people underestimated me, but I took everything as a positive improvement so I could improve my work. I use sterling silver with gemstone beads to create jewelry designs that are different. I work with my wife and with the help of my friends. The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
