Based on the numerous fascinating stones of their homeland, people developed extensive skills in the processing of gemstones centuries ago. The knowledge of hardness, Cleavability and polishability gained from experience is passed down from generation to generation in the many small family businesses.
Marco Schreier came to Bali in 2002 in search of opportunities to have crystals and free-cut stones set in silver and was immediately fascinated by the culture, natural treasures and gemstone artists of Indonesia. In the same year, he began to set up his own jewelry workshop in Bali.
The collaboration between silver artists, quality control and designers focuses on mutual respect and the exchange of knowledge and cultures. The team attaches great importance to the appreciation of Balinese culture and participates in the festivals and rituals of the local communities. The conscious use of the earth's treasures is an integral part of the work.
