From Bali with love – a new chapter of the Kembali collection

The new Kembali collection takes us back to the paradise island in search of nature—this time human nature. Instead of lush flowers and snake motifs, the focus is on body symbols: eyes and lips. In necklaces, earrings, and pins from this line, these elements express the connection between the craftsman and the material; the seen and the unseen; the spoken and the unspoken. The collection invites a deeper look within oneself and the world, reminding us of beauty perceived not only by the eyes but also by the heart. In a world full of noise and words that easily slip away, jewelry from Bali emphasizes that what is most important does not need to be loud. We send it to you like a love letter: from the island to the world, from a Balinese artisan to the person who chooses to wear it. A unique letter, not written on paper, but carved in wood and mother-of-pearl.

Brooch with lips carved from arang wood

This artistic brooch is made of gold-plated brass and shaped like an eye with long lashes. In the center of the eye, instead of a pupil, there is a miniature sculpture of lips hand-carved by Balinese masters from arang wood, known for its intense, almost black color and satin texture. This wood is prized in local craftsmanship for its durability and structure, allowing the creation of precise patterns. Each pair of lips was created with extraordinary precision, the sculptors’ chisels guided with patience and respect for the nature of the wood. The combination of the eye and lips forms a metaphorical talisman—a gaze that speaks. A voice that does not need to be loud to be heard.

Brooches and pins as unique accessories – how to wear them?

Brooches are jewelry for those who enjoy playing with accessories. A brooch with carved lips pinned traditionally on a jacket lapel adds elegance to any outfit. It also draws attention when worn on a sweater, turtleneck, or shirt. Brooches and pins from the Kembali collection can be the starting point of a whole look. Attach several to a classic black suit - on the lapel, cuffs, or pocket—to catch many curious glances. Pins shaped like Balinese flowers can be confidently pinned on a beret, handbag, or velvet ribbon tied at the neck. A pin or smaller brooch attached near a shirt collar can be an interesting alternative to a traditional necklace.
