Story, Sustainability & Impact
This piece was designed in Canada and 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, which have been passed down to our artisans generationally. It offers artisans 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 and mining, while our mabe pearls support small-scale farmers on the island of Lombok.
