Story Behind the Art:
'My mother and my sisters walked about three kilometers to fetch a gallon of water while my father and I would go looking for firewood,' says Nyoman Ariawan as he shares his life's story. 'One day I made small wooden beads which I strung into a bracelet. It wasn't perfect but the jewelry idea was there and my father was very proud. Due to our economic situation I experienced many hardships, and yet I got a scholarship to work with a famous jewelry designer. After working there for 21 years I decided to explore my dream and talent, so I started creating jewelry on my own.'
