Artisan Rupadana creates this beautiful pair of hoop earrings that is perfect for an everyday, elegant look. Inspired by traditional Balinese openwork, Rupadana handcrafts each earring from sterling silver with gorgeous swirling bun motifs forming abstract petals around a silver hoop accented with petite jawan bubbles.
Rupadana has steadily grown his workshop and now has assistants to help him.
Rupadana incorporates traditional Balinese motifs and contemporary styling to create beautiful jewelry with traditional silversmithing techniques. He learned the art of silverwork as a child and started his own his own workshop with only 25 grams of silver. He has struggled through hard economic times but has steadily grown his jewelry project. He is proud to provide work for several assistants.
As the seventh of nine children, Rupadana worked at any early age to help provide for his basic needs. Today he is proud to be able to care for his three children and provide them with a better life.
Rupadana receives nearly half his income from Novica sales. They are instrumental to survival of his family and workshop.
Rupadana provides for the education of his three children.
"My parents once told me that if you are good at something, you have to express it through hard work and not waste a gift from God."
