story, sustainability & impact

this piece was designed in canada & handmade by master artisans over a 5–7 day period in celuk village, bali, indonesia. 

this collection helps preserve the dying art of handmade traditional balinese techniques passed down to our artisans generationally & offers a viable income from their craft so they can continue to support their families. the use of recycled silver protects our environment by reducing CO2 emissions associated with waste & mining, while our mabe pearls support small scale farmers on the island of lombok.
