About this Artist
"I am thankful that God gave me a chance to join with Novica. My jewelry is now known in many different countries, and my family and I feel so much this uplift in our economic life thanks to you. We hope this can last forever, and I will continue to work harder and better to please you, all my dear customers. Thank you so much!"Wayan Asmana is a master silversmith from Sukawati, long regarded as Bali's most important jewelry center. Asmana learned his craft when he was in elementary school but only when he was in senior school did his father teach him how to make gold accessories. Wayan Asmana senior is unquestionably a renowned jewelry maker and designer.
When Asmana returned to his village after going away to college, he married his beautiful bride, Wayan Asmariani. Then he set about starting his own jewelry workshop where he designed and crafted a variety of gold and silver accessories. Business began to flourish and tourists were his main customers. Unfortunately, events such as the World Trade Center attacks and the Legian-Kuta bombing have had a very bad impact on Bali's tourism trade, which in turn has affected Asmana's work.
Setting up on his own is difficult. Asmana tells of the time, three years ago, when a foreign tourist bought almost $1,200 worth of products. When Asmana went to the bank to change the dollars into into rupiah, he was told the money was counterfeit. There was nothing Asmana could do about it.
I'm delighted with the earrings 'Shrine' with gold-plated stripes. It is bought to match another Bali pendant with gold-plating designs & they both go very well. It is a halved cylindrical shape earring with Bali beads soldered strategically to give a flowing formation. It's a wonder how so many varied sized beads can be cautiously laid on a narrow strip of silver. The earrings are well-made with shiny & sturdy silver. I'm glad to have this as my first pair of rod-shaped earrings.

Dear Wayan Asmana of NOVICA, Let me once again give you praise for your excellence in design, craftsmanship, quality and delivery for my last purchase of the Motiff 925 Sterling Silver Mens Chain which I received on Friday August 12th, 2011 and love. I'm looking forward to seeing some new designs when you're ready. Also, may I suggest as an artist for NOVICA that you add a sterling silver jewelry cleaning cloth for each purchase. Thanks again, Mark G, Adorno

Dear Wayan Asmana, I just received my silver Motiff bracelet and love it. It is absolutely beautiful. My lady is jealous but it's ok. The matching Motiff necklace will have to wait since your prices have almost doubled since my first purchase. I'd appreciate an e-mail sent to my attention when the Motiff necklace goes on sale. I own three of your designed silver jewelry pieces and it appears that in order to contact you I have to purchase at least a minimum of six items from Novica. I would like to send you a sketch of something to design as a pendant with an enhancer for my "Sleek" silver chain. You are my favorite jewelry designer and I hope to remain a loyal customer. Thank you again for your fabulous talent and work. Truly, Mark G. Adorno

Thank you Wayan Asmana. I received my second purchase from your fabulous men's silver jewelry collection and all I know is that I'll be back. The "Sleek" silver chain is going very well with the "Silver Choices" bracelet that I purchased a week ago. I love your creativeness and have a question. Why doesn't your "signature" appear on your creative jewelry? I've looked and couldn't find anything that say's "Wayan Asmana"........... I'm so proud of wearing your jewelry and would like other's to recognize that you exist. Also do you make pendants with enhancers for chains.Finally, if I wanted to design a piece of silver jewelry would you create it for me? Please get back to me. Thank you Novica for introducing me to one of the best unknown talents our world has. Looking forward to your comments..... Mark G. Adorno

To Novica and especially the artist Wayan Asmana, for the experience. What else can I say? The design and the quality of my "Silver Choices" bracelet is absolutely beautiful.

Wow, Wayan's "Classic Silver" bracelet came yesterday and I couldn't have been more impressed with his talent and workmanship - outstanding! The bracelet was so well made it almost didn't look handmade! Thank you, Novica, for shipping so promptly. As a typical male, I waited until the 11th hour to locate a special gift for my sweetheart for Valentine's Day. Novica to the rescue! I look forward to adding many more items to our home from Novica!
