Details

Balinese artisan Buana pays homage to an ancient guard who protected many with his supernatural strength and courage. Kumbhakarna, the protagonist of this sterling silver necklace, is a famous giant in the Hindu doctrine, said to have been blessed with an endless sleep until the kingdom needed his powers to save the citizens. The image of the hero dangles gracefully in the form of an elegant cow bone pendant surrounded by traditional motifs of the region, making this accessory a cultural accent.

"When I began to work with Novica I started with nothing, I could barely support my family. Today I have a growing workshop, and a number of silversmiths work with me."

Preserving Traditions

Buana is a master silversmith. He designs and crafts his jewelry collection using a combination of traditional and modern jewelry making techniques. Buana and his silversmiths share their knowledge and train younger artisans that join the workshop.

Microcredit Financing

Buana has received 14 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $2400 and the most recent for $7000. Proceeds were used to invest in a purchase of natural gemstones and silver for his jewelry.

Caring for Children

When Buana first began to work, he was fearful that he would be unable to care for his first child. Now he proudly cares for two.

Enabling Education

Buana provides for the education of his two children.
