Bali Silver:

Check out some of the exciting new Bali silver we have in stock! Each piece is handmade in Bali, a small island in Indonesia, which is renowned for its artistic and cultural heritage. For centuries, Balinese artists have perfected their skills, and each bead is carefully made with exquisite detail, so that no two are exactly alike. Every silver dot is individually placed, every surface patterned by hand. Each bead is a work of art.

There are a whole variety of shapes and sizes, including decorative rounds, dangles, pendants, bead caps, cones, tubes, ovals, and hosts more. The images to the left are only s a sampling of what we have in stock.
