Made Sri
I'm Made Siri from Bali. I'm the eldest of three sisters. My father died when I was seven years old and my mother was left to take care of us on her own. She did a wonderful job of it.
When I grew up, I left home to help my family and worked in a jewelry company. I learned a lot there and made some very good friends. I later got married and gave birth to two healthy boys.
"I left my job after 15 years to take care of my family. I had to choose between them and job. In the end, I chose my family because I believe in them and they mean so much to me.
"But I'm a person who can't sit still. I'm very active and I like to be creative. I finally opened a small jewelry workshop at home because I like jewelry so much. I enjoy fashion. Because I was young, I didn't want to waste time and wanted to do better in life.
"I believe that with goodwill and honesty, every effort is better. I'm very thankful to all my family for their love and sacrifices. I believe that parents' good karma is also good for their children. I also thank God.
"My husband and I are sometimes assisted by relatives and silversmiths when we have a lot of work. I decide who does what from my observation of their skills and talents. I create the designs and my husband and silversmiths craft them. We use sterling silver and gemstones. Our jewelry is a unique art."

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.
