Sterling Silver Wheat Chain Bracelet with Dragon Head Clasp, "Dragon Tale"
In this clever bracelet design from Bali's Wayan Asmana, a fierce dragon's extended tongue forms part of the bracelet's clasp. The sterling silver bracelet is crafted from rounded wheat chain, with the oxidized head of the dragon contrasting nicely with the highly polished toggle.
Celuk is a Balinese silversmithing center and it is there that Asmana, while still in elementary school, began to learn the art of jewelry making. His father was a well-known silversmith who taught him bon, jawan and other jewelry techniques that have been handed from generation to generation in Celuk. Now in his sixties, Asmana has taught this art to many others and is dedicated to seeing it passed to the next generation.
Wayan Asmana has received 3 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $2850 and the most recent for $3000.
Asmana and his workers rely on the stable income that Novica sales bring. These sales are their primary source of income.
This artist has dramatically improved their livelihood by working with NOVICA.
This artist supports children under the age of 18.
Asmana employs assistants and silversmiths.

"One of my favorite and unique Novica treasures "
My favorite bracelet! Bali's Wayan Asmana has meticulously sculpted the head of a fierce dragon, with a sinuously woven "tail". The bracelet is also a luxuriously weighty piece of sterling silver, a pleasure to wear! Thank you for this beautiful, creative bracelet.
