Our Stories & Values

VALUES

Showing gratitude to the universe and Mother Earth for everything that we are blessed with has always been the heart of Artnara. As a brand we are devoted and dedicated to make the world a better place through our own jewelry pieces. We do this by:

  • Using recycled silver by collecting the silver dust from melted jewelry so it can be used to create new jewelry. By doing this we reduce waste and we contribute to preventing silver from being continuously mined.
  • Using eco-friendly materials for our packaging. We wholeheartedly believe it’s our responsibility to help create a better world. Each piece of jewelry is carefully packed in premium paper boxes, fabrics, and paper bags.
  • Paying our employees and smiths fairly.
  • Believing in gender equality and treating male and female employees the same. We are strictly opposed hiring under age or using child labour.

STORIES

Artnara has grown on the magical island of Bali in a village known for its many jewelry smiths. This village is well-known for being the home of the world’s best goldsmiths and silversmiths. Together with our passion, we enable many talented jewelry artisans in Bali to put their skills to use in the creation of jewelry. We gradually grow into a larger community of skilled artisans who have discovered a platform to share their craftsmanship with the world. With love, passion, and dedication, their talented hands handcraft each piece of our premium jewelry.

We created this brand because we want to share and show people around the world the creations of hand crafted jewelry from the island where we grew up. Using traditional technique passed down from generation to generation, we try to maintain and preserve our tradition in creating jewelry. We are never against methods of making jewelry using machines since we also use it in few of our procedures. We combine both traditional and modern methods in the creations of our jewelry. We still believe in the value of craftmanship and handcrafted creations has their own uniqueness and authenticity than creations created entirely by machines. Even though we use traditional methods in most of the procedures for making our jewelry, we consistently maintain our products quality. 

Bali has also been a source of inspiration for each of our jewelry designs. The stunning mountains, the blue ocean, the peaceful lake, the lush forest, and the traditional culture. The island is a never-ending source of wonder and inspiration.
