Amethyst and Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet, "Regal Ivy"
Balinese silversmith Wayan Sarjana comes from a family of craftspeople, and after years of apprenticeship, now runs his own home workshop near the craft market of his island village. Sarjana elaborates on an ancient Indonesian design of floral scrolls that frame a faceted amethyst center in this exquisite sterling silver bracelet.
Sarjana has steadily grown his workshop. He is eager to continue growing and hopes to be able to employ additional silversmiths in the near future.
Sarjana has a diverse jewelry collection that incorporates both traditional and contemporary motifs. He learned silversmithing from his uncle, and sought out Javanese silversmiths to teach him the specialized art of traditional Indonesian handmade chains - a speciality that has been handed down through the generations. Sarjana is dedicated to preserving Indonesian silverwork and hopes to some day teach his children this art.
Wayan Sarjana has received 8 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $1350 and the most recent for $6000. Proceeds were used to invest in the purchase of sterling silver for production.
Novica sales account for nearly 100 percent of Sarjana's workshop income. This income supports his family and the families of his five assistants.
Sarjana educated his oldest child and now provides for the education of his youngest daughter.
Sarjana gives work to other silversmiths, two of whom specialize in the jawa technique.
Sarjana's two children were born 15 years apart. He provides for both of them.






























"Beautiful!"
The quality is excellent, far exceeding my expectations! I never take it off. I get a lot of comments about it and have shared the NOVICA web site with many.

I love my new bracelet! The detail and finish are just beautiful and as I had hoped, the stone matches exactly with a pair of earrings I've had for many years. The quality and craftsmanship is excellent!
