Leaves glisten with sterling beauty, their veined network masterfully detailed in low relief. Bali's Nyoman Rena achieves the organic illusion with artistic finesse, creating a stunning pair of earrings. .925 Sterling silver Artisan Info: Nyoman Rena was born on October 11 as the third of five children. His father is Made Beratha and his mother is Ketut Sukarti. Young Rena started to learn wood carving when he was in the third year of elementary school. His grandfather, an architect of traditional Balinese buildings who is also a senior carver, gave much support to Rena's carving and jewelry development. After graduating from elementary school in 1983, Rena was introduced to a famous silversmith in his village by his father. Since then, Rena began learning to craft silver jewelry on Sundays. Making use of his carving ability, Rena combines it with his silver work. He believes that one day his silver crafting will invite the interest of costumers worldwide. He is also studying English so that he can easily communicate with his contacts from foreign countries.

The Indian artisan shapes the pair of hammered sterling silver and bathes them in 22k gold. .925 rating silver Artisan Info: "In traditional Indian families, it is not easy for a housewife to start a design workshop, but I was fortunate that my husband also shares the same interests. Together, we create beautiful jewelry. My husband is an expert in crafting the jewelry while I do the designing. "My father was a jeweler and I was highly inspired by him. I grew up watching him make amazing jewelry with his own hands and this really fascinated me. "I come from the majestic city of Jaipur, the pink city. I had a joyful childhood with four sisters at home. We had so much fun and I, being the youngest of the four, was pampered and loved. We also have a brother who is the youngest of all, and he is a real sweetheart. "School was fun. I had so much with my friends and never stopped yapping - so much that, during parent-teacher meetings, my teachers asked my mother what she fed me to give me so much energy to talk nonstop. But I was one of the brightest students in our whole class. Most of the time I was at the top of my class. I was very much interested in studying and wanted to sit for a competitive

The earrings feature sleek, shining lozenges that are convex in front and flat in back. .950 silver Artisan Info: "I was born in October of 1977 in Lima, where I finished my studies through secondary school. At the age of 16, I began to exercise this noble craft in a friend's workshop near my home. Six years later, I opened my own jewelry workshop after having learned a great deal about this art from my good friend. Jewelry has been my passion ever since. "I've been fortunate to participate in a number of courses on jewelry crafting. These have created a greater expectation in me - combining the jeweler's craftsmanship with innovative techniques in design and production makes us better each day. "I've been able to bring some of my family members into the jewelry trade and they share the same passion for this art. Several of them work with me creating jewelry, and my older sister brings her administrative talents to our workshop.

"At home, I was forever making presents for everyone. I applied my creativity when I worked in business administration, but by 2002 I couldn't deny my artistic instinct any longer. "I took some courses in jewelry-making and began to design my own jewelry. Soon I was selling to relatives, friends and coworkers. My heart swells with pride every time someone admires my work! It inspires me to continue, safe in the knowledge that this is my true vocation. "Designing jewelry has become my passion: I love seeing how a piece begins to take shape through the different stages of the crafting process. To me, designing is the most natural and spontaneous way to express what one holds inside in a moment of inspiration. It awakens something special. I may see an object, hear a sound, or feel the touch of something special and it awakens the senses and gets poured into the design of a jewelry piece. "I believe jewelry must have

I loved the way they came out so much that I wore them everyday. I was so proud of them! "When I was older I had the chance to attend the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Milan. It was to become an enriching experience for me, as it taught me a lot about European art and culture, which I integrated into my already multicultural background.

I love when a piece is finished, it is great to see with my eyes how my original idea became alive!

When I was young, my father owned a ruby mine, a gemstone cutting factory, and a jewelry store in a gemstone mining area of Thailand. Each weekend, he would bring home rubies and gems to be graded. He'd ask me to help him grade his rubies because he knew that I loved the stones and I had a very good eye for quality. There were gemstones everywhere in the house. He would even fill the bottom of the aquarium with them instead of sand. "Once I graduated from high school, my father sent me to the famed Asian Institute of Gemmological Sciences to learn the properties of gemstones and how to separate the natural ones from the synthetics. I spent five years learning, teaching at the school and working in the gem laboratory where I acquired valuable experience and knowledge.

They are crafted by hand with sterling silver featuring Indonesian stylizations. .925 Sterling silver Artisan Info: "Nyoman Sukartini is the full name given me by my parents when I was born. From the time I was little, my mother taught me how to be a 'Balinese woman.' In her mind, a Balinese woman must devote her life to God, her husband and also to society. She taught me how to cook and do housework and also how to make offerings, starting from very simple ones and continuing with the complex offerings, because almost every day is a ceremonial occasion in Bali. "At the age of 16, I studied at SMIK (Sekolah Menengah Industri Kerajinan) in Gianyar. In this school, I learned batik, ceramics and other home industries for three years. Back from school, I took an apprenticeship with a silversmith in a village where they specialized in jewelry. "Today I work together with local silversmiths to promote Bali's beauty in our own way. We make different kinds of jewelry, mostly with sterling silver, in both traditional and modern styles.

Shades of black and gray cast a spell of mystical elegance. Lilly Rahmann's unique design is crafted by hand with chalcopyrite. Pearls with golden iridescence add a touch of wild sophistication. .925 Sterling silver Artisan Info: "My name is Lilly Rahmann and I was born in Bangkok. I started learning arts and crafts at the age of four. The primary school, secondary school, and college that I attended specialized in the arts and crafts. When I was young, my father owned a ruby mine, a gemstone cutting factory, and a jewelry store in a gemstone mining area of Thailand. Each weekend, he would bring home rubies and gems to be graded. He'd ask me to help him grade his rubies because he knew that I loved the stones and I had a very good eye for quality. There were gemstones everywhere in the house. He would even fill the bottom of the aquarium with them instead of sand. "Once I graduated from high school, my father sent me to the famed Asian Institute of Gemmological Sciences to learn the properties of gemstones and how to separate the natural ones from the synthetics. I spent five years learning, teaching at the school and working in the gem laboratory where I acquired valuable experience and knowledge. "My plans and life changed drastically when I married a Canadian and moved to

Shaped of silver, wishing stars showcase garnet's allure. Bali's Made Kencana contrasts shining tendrils with a darkened sterling finish for these earrings. .925 rating silver Artisan Info: "My name is Made Kencana but people call me Gading. I was born in a Balinese town that is known for its silver work, so I began learning about silver crafting when I was a boy. My neighbor, who is a family member, taught me after school. At that time, the tools for making jewelry were still very traditional. "I first learned to hammer silver by hand to make a flat silver plate. Sometimes I'd miss the silver and hit my hand, but I always wanted to learn more. When I was learning to place tiny silver granules, called jawan, I'd fall asleep. But I was eventually able to craft earrings by myself. Then I learned to design my own items - rings, bracelets, pendants, earrings, brooches and more. "In 1991, I got married. My wife helps me with our jewelry, which we craft at home. We sell our designs to shops near our house, but my dream is to see my jewelry worn by people around the world. "My wife and I have two children, a son in junior high and a daughter in high school. I live happily with my family."

Set in sterling silver, glistening gemstones conjure mystical elegance in a design by Janet Molloy. She selects two highly protective gems, faceted lemon quartz shaped as a circle and a teardrop, and amber. This naturally-occurring resin holds tiny flecks of fossilized inclusions. The handmade earrings feature 7.5 carats. .925 Sterling silver Artisan Info: A deep emotional response to the myriad colors of the Universe has been the principal influence in Janet's life. She was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, where her father specialized in luxury textiles and her mother was a fashion designer. Through these influences Janet extended her early love of color to fabric and design. "While other children played with toys, I preferred going to dad's office to play with colorful fabric swatches, which I eventually sewed into glamorous clothes for my dolls. By the time I was 12 years old, I was designing and making most of my own clothes," recalls Janet. Nobody was surprised when she refused to train as a teacher and began working instead at one of Australia's leading atelier of women's apparel. Thanks to her father's international business connections she was introduced at an early age to the people and cuisines of many different countries. The vibrant colors of these new ingredients

My grandfather was a Chinese immigrant from the Canton province. He emigrated to Thailand at the end of the 19th century when he was in his early twenties. He was a very hard working person trading goods all along the river and during that time he met my partner's grandfather. "I studied business and left for England. Engineering interested me, and I graduated with an engineering degree from Leeds University. I met Ilkay, my wife there. She went to Brunel University where she graduated in polymer science. "In 1976, Ilkay and I came back to Thailand. Originally my family and partner's family planned to get into mining. And in order to analyze the rocks, ores and minerals, we needed to set up a lab. Then my partner's father suggested that we could also use the lab to create something representative of the area, and we came up with the idea of covering natural products such as exotic flowers and plants with gold. Well, the easiest

My name is Rudklow Patanaanunwong, but everyone calls me Aoy. I come from a warm family environment from Bangkok, though I am an only child. I hold Bachelor and Master Degrees in Economy from Northeastern University. "My intention after graduation was to work for the Bank of Thailand, but I changed my mind when I met my husband. We got married and I moved to Chiang Mai, where my husband has a silversmith workshop. I began to work there to help him. "At first we only sold our silver jewelry Chiang Mai, then we began to receive orders from different places, some from abroad. I speak English, so we thought it a good idea to pursue a place in the international market, so we increased our collections to include more trendy designs. "I would say I lead a regular life style. I do not care for luxury, I am very happy with my life as it is now. The greatest challenge I have had to face was moving to Chiang Mai. I had no idea what it would be like, and I didn't know anyone other than my husband. I was greatly impressed by the warm welcome I received from my husband and his relatives.

Artisan Info: "Hello, my name is Alok Jain and I was born on December 12, 1971. My family has been involved in the realm of handicrafts for many years now. I was barely 17 years old when I realized I was completely immersed in the creation of hand-crafted pieces, including sandalwood and brass items and jewelry, among others. "Lately, I have been much more involved in the design of jewelry. I'm inspired by nature hence you will find that most of my jewelry items feature natural motifs. "My journey into handicrafts has been great, yet the highlight came in 1995, when the Sultan of Brunei placed an order for my designs! It was time bound, it took me and my artisan collaborators about two months to complete the order. All in all, it was a really exciting experience to be working all together. "I always strive to improve designs and quality, and demand for my products has steadily

They hang from sterling wires to become enchanting earrings. .925 sterling silver Artisan Info: "Sawadee kha! My name is Wadarat Supasirisuk and I was born on April 19, 1941 in the southern province of Nakorn Sri Thamarat. I am married and we have two children. After graduating from university, I had the opportunity to work in a company that manufactured jewelry. I chose that company because not only did the products interest me, but also because I could tell there was a growing demand for Thai jewelry. "I began to save my earnings and eventually opened my own workshop. I believe that opportunities are everywhere, that is, for those who can anticipate and make the risky decision to invest time and money. "I purchased some materials and started marketing the products myself. It was then that I traveled abroad, to Europe and Australia. When I was in Bangkok I became aware of the potential for silver jewelry. I looked at the northern region of Chiang Mai and decided to expand my scope of products. "Earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets - I design all these products myself, sometimes adapting patterns I see in magazines and catalogues."

I specialize in costume jewelry and only recently ventured into silver. "I was born in Bhagalpur in Bihar. I received part of my education in Kolkata and the rest in Delhi. As a child, I was fascinated by the beautiful jewelry and colorful saris that Indian women wear, and would always fantasize about designing jewels. "As I grew, I learned jewelry designing on my own. I have not taken any training courses and whatever I have learned is self-taught through the inspiration from different cultures and traditions. Designing for me is an art, which cannot be taught, but it is there within you. "I work with a team of talented artisans and together we create exclusive pieces for all you special people. Most of the designs are my own creation, arising from our traditional jewelry fused with a modern touch.
