Description: In his village, Nyoman Rena's grandfather is a master wood carver who began teaching young Rena when he was a child. After primary school, the artisan turned to silver work. Using manual tools, he melts silver granules to create the tiny globes, spirals and arabesques of traditional Balinese design. He applies his grandfather's wood carving lessons to his jewelry craft. This elegant handcrafted necklace showcases garnet and rainbow moonstone. You can see more of Nyoman Rena's work here: novica.com/artistdetail/?faid=3703
