Our Team & Values
from Bali with LOVE
Hi! I'm Nea.
I've always been a jewelry designer, passionate about gemstones, authentic self-expression, creativity, and exploration.
In 2001, I bought a round-the-world ticket and ended up falling in love with Bali. After witnessing the 2002 bombings there and seeing how the devastation impacted the livelihoods of so many innocent people, I decided to move to Bali and do my best to create jobs. I set up a small jewelry production studio in Canggu called PT Melamun, and from there, with the help of my incredible team, created and co-created several jewelry brands, & supported other designers create their own lines. I have done my best to set up a studio that offers fair wages, and positive working conditions.
I felt a strong call to combine my passions for jewelry, gemstones, & spiritual evolution. Creating a jewelry collaboration for the book The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz and Janet Mills was the answer to this call for me. Jewelry Evolution is the platform from which I will be sharing this collaboration and many more. I pray that the jewelry I create will be much more to you than something beautiful to wear. It is my dream that everything I create will be meaningful and can be used by you as powerful, positive personal transformation tools.
TEAM OF EXCEPTIONAL ARTISANS
Our team strives to adhere to ethical work practices by respecting local customs & traditions and treating our staff like family. Together, we have made a commitment to making jewelry from certified recycled metals, and we strive to source stones directly from the source whenever possible.
ETHICAL BEST PRACTICES
Our working family of exceptional Indonesian women and men from Bali and Java help orgainze everything it takes to transform our jewelry from sketches into reality. Designs are hand-carved by our talented carvers, and one-of-a- kind pieces are all made by hand in our studio with great attention to detail & quality.
MADE WITH LOVE & CARE
We work with reverence for traditional techniques, including granulation. From our hand-made chains to our custom-designed clasps we do everything possible to make each piece of jewelry a true work of art that you know will last and can be passed down for many generations.
