"These are exquisite"
These are beautiful. They are so exquisitely crafted and they are the perfect size- not too large or too small. Theyre just right. I love them and i know theyll be one of my go to sets of earrings. They look even better on than they do in the picture. Amazing.

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.
