"When I began to work with Novica I started with nothing, I could barely support my family. Today I have a growing workshop, and a number of silversmiths work with me."
Buana is a master silversmith. He designs and crafts his jewelry collection using a combination of traditional and modern jewelry making techniques. Buana and his silversmiths share their knowledge and train younger artisans that join the workshop.
Buana has received 14 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $2400 and the most recent for $7000. Proceeds were used to invest in a purchase of natural gemstones and silver for his jewelry.
When Buana first began to work, he was fearful that he would be unable to care for his first child. Now he proudly cares for two.
Buana provides for the education of his two children.

"Beautiful"
This necklace is so unusual and different. It is quite striking. The carving is very intricate and the moon's face so dreamy. I'm a cancer so I like having q moon pendant. I only wish the cord was shorter so the pendant could be seen with all types of,tops.

"'Sleepy Moon' makes a Great Statement"
When I first saw this lovely pendant on my computer screen, I knew that it was perfect for me and immediately ordered it. I wear lots of necklaces but this one ALWAYS gets comments and compliments. The craftsmanship is excellent and the peridot and citrine accents are just right to set off the design.

"Magical Pendant"
I like this pendant very much: it looks unusual and somehow calming. Recently I wore it on my working place. My coworkers told me that it looks like magical talisman from fairy tales, and everyone asked where got it from.
