I'm Made Sugi and I was born in Bali in 1975 as the second of four children. My hometown has a lot of jewelry artisans working with silver who have inspired me.

After finishing my education, I got married and had two daughters and two sons. My children made me more responsible and active. I feel blessed to have this life and a healthy family.

"I helped with my husband's silver workshop and then began designing. I enjoy this art and have learned a lot. My husband and neighbors taught me how to craft jewelry. In the beginning, I cleaned, melted and shaped silver, until I was finally able to craft my own designs.

"Once, I had to help clean many silver pieces and sprained my finger and was unable to use it until now. My motto is never to give up, keep working and increase productivity.

"We use silver, gemstones and pearls. We are helped by 15 jewelry artisans who use traditional tools. Our motifs are Balinese and include jawan (silver bubbles) and bun (swirls). These motifs are challenging because they require a delicate hand for an intricate process.

"In designing, I'm inspired by our culture and tradition. This makes our creations different from that of other countries and even jewelry from other regions in Indonesia. We hope people around the world like our jewelry so that Bali's silversmiths can continue this craft and also earn a living."

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.

Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.

Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.

The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
