Inspiration
Our collections are inspired by the materials
we work with and by Bali's exotic environment
-- its vivid palette of colors, spectacular
landscapes, rich cultural heritage, flora
and fauna. We match these concepts with
the dazzling range of gemstones now available,
creating beautiful pieces that reflect the
spirit of this legendary island.
Craftsmanship
Gemala probably produces the highest volume
of entirely handcrafted sterling silver
jewelry in Indonesia. Each component is
created in-house, often including the now-rare
techniques of repousse, filigree and granulation
rendered in contemporary designs. Hundreds
of Balinese are trained in these ancient
skills, ensuring that the traditions do
not die out. Every piece of jewelry passes
through many hands, retaining the energy
of each artisan.
Logistics
Some pieces of jewelry have hundreds of
individual components. Multiply this by
the production order, and there are literally
hundreds of thousands of components generated
in-house and placed by hand on each piece
of jewelry. Gemala uses about half of ton
of silver each month, making components
as small as silver granulation with a diameter
of 0,2 mm. |
