"When I began to work with Novica I started with nothing, I could barely support my family. Today I have a growing workshop, and a number of silversmiths work with me."
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.
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.
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.
Buana provides for the education of his two children.






























"Just arrived, Love it!"
Love the design. Labradorite has a nice flash of color both blue and rainbow! Bail is nice size so you can wear with different chains. Chain that comes with pendant is good length and quality with a nice, easy to use lobster claw clasp. Well finished with soldered jump rings around clasp.
