Story Behind the Art:
I'm Dewa Arimba and I was born in Bali in 1983 to a family of educators and traditional artists. My wife and I work hard together to create our unique jewelry pieces. We don't have children yet, but I hope that one day our work will inspire them to follow in our footsteps and preserve this precious tradition. While growing up, my family drew me to Balinese culture. My grandfather was a dancer, painter, and sculptor who introduced me to the wonderful art of designing. We use silver, copper, and gemstones, which are difficult to work with. It takes great artistic and technical skills to make jewelry that people will love and cherish. My jewelry is special because of its unique designs. They are a beautiful and harmonious combination of traditional patterns and symbols with modern, elegant shapes.'
