Jewelry Inspired by Human Nature – A New Chapter of the Kembali Collection

Kembali means “return” in Indonesian, and this new edition of the collection is exactly that – a symbolic return. A return to the paradise island of Bali, to the roots of craftsmanship, to a connection with nature, and to what is most human: emotions, the body, gestures. In this jewelry, we turn to the motif of lips – not merely a sensual symbol, but a sign of dialogue: between people and nature, artist and material, the spoken and the unspoken. The lips were either hand-carved from tropical wood or formed from mother-of-pearl. In a world where words often lose their meaning, Balinese forms remind us of the power of silence and mindfulness – of a voice that doesn’t need to shout to be heard. Each lip motif featured in the earrings, necklaces, and pins of this collection has been created slowly, consciously, and with care by local Balinese artisans. We send them to you like a letter – not written on paper, but sculpted in wood – a message from the heart of Bali to the world.

Earrings with Lips Carved from Sawo Wood

This pair of earrings draws attention with its simple geometric form. They are mounted on elongated gold-plated brass elements and fastened with stud posts. At the ends are round medallions featuring lips intricately carved from sawo wood – a tropical hardwood known for its deep reddish-brown hue, which beautifully complements the warm tones of the gold-plated frame. Sawo wood is prized not only for its rich color but also for its durability and lightness, making these earrings both eye-catching and comfortable to wear throughout the day. The lip motifs resemble miniature, lifelike sculptures. Each wooden element in this collection has been hand-carved by Balinese masters. Since the wood is a natural material, the color of the lips may vary slightly from pair to pair – a detail that enhances the uniqueness of each piece.

Natural Accents – Wood as the Focal Point of Your Styling

Earrings featuring hand-carved wood are a perfect foundation for nature-inspired outfits. They pair beautifully with linen or muslin blouses in beige and brown tones, or even with a simple black dress for an artistic touch. The warm, reddish-brown lips also complement boho styles – wear them with a flowing dress or a fringe jacket for a distinctive look. To complete the outfit, choose a necklace with sculpted lips and pins with floral motifs from the Kembali collection. A ring with red lips or a necklace in the same sawo wood finish are natural companions to the earrings, forming a harmonious set for summer styling. Pair them with light, simple dresses or jumpsuits, and finish the look with a wicker bag and braided sand
