I am trying to find a Nyoman Suarjana bracelet called “Violet Sun”. It used to be offered through Novica but they no longer have it. It is a silver cuff bracelet with 3 amethyst stones.

Click this link to see a picture of it:

Please let me know if you can get this item or one very much like it. Must have amethyst stones.

Thank you.

Mariella, I don’t know anyone, the products above are from Novica, you could try them as they do sell wholesale. There’s a member of this site (Janma? Where is Janma when you need her?) who might know someone though, hopefully she’ll see this post.

I know one called Sukma in Celuk who manufactures other people’s designs. Delivers good work at reasonable prices. I don’t have his coordinates here with me but I’ll post them later.

Yes Novica is good but only for retailer, their wholesale pirces are way too expensive!
I had a good experience with http://www.atbali.com where i ordered some silver jewlery… it is different styles but still very good selling.
I plan to go to Bali next month and would like to visit other companies… do anyone has recommanded adresses to give me?

I have a question regarding gem cutters in Bali.

We are going to Bali in a few weeks to have our custom jewelry produced. Some of our items need unusual stones and shapes. I am wondering if you know if the Balinese are able to cut and polish gems if I bring my own slabs? I would be so grateful to hear your advice!

Many thanks… Kai

The principle problem is the Local Jewelry businesses is they overcharge & also the quality is over rated. You are also likely to get ripped off. I come to Bali every year & the prices are going up dramatically. You can get cheap Jewelry but it is rubbish. Don’t get ripped off. Don’t forget it is only 925….most is less than that. You will the truth out when you return to your own country…….take this advice.

I bought my wife the Balinese Amethyst cuff made by Wayan Sarjana sold in National Geographic

http://shop.nationalgeographic.com/ngs/product/clothing/jewelry/balinese-amethyst-cuff

Does anyone know if he makes other matching pieces – ring, necklace, earrings, etc.

Thank you for any help.

I’m trying to do research on an estate piece I bought years ago. A gemologist has looked at a good photo of it and suggests it is Indonesian amethyst. It is a Bali silver clasp with the amethyst cabochon. The thing I can’t figure out – the chain that the clasp is attached to is not solid silver, it is just silver coating. Yet the clasp and other findings are obviously so expensively done. This piece is obviously very old. Can anyone tell me a reason why designers decades ago might have done such a combination? And would an expert be able to identify the Balinese designer by looking at the piece? Thank you for any help!
