Bali Style Sterling Silver Pendants  

Traditional Balinese Silverwork Methods in Every Piece

Balinese silver techniques date to the 8th century, when Indian traders introduced metalworking to the island. Local artisans adapted these methods and created distinct regional styles. Granulation involves fusing tiny silver balls to a base without visible solder. Filigree uses thin silver wire twisted and shaped into scrollwork patterns. Oxidation adds controlled tarnish to recessed areas, making raised designs stand out. The sterling silver in Bali style jewelry meets the .925 standard, meaning 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for durability. This composition holds fine detail well and develops character over time. The oxidized finish may lighten with regular wear, revealing brighter silver beneath while maintaining the dimensional contrast these pieces require. SilverRush Style has offered Bali influenced sterling silver jewelry since 2005. Browse the collection to find pendants that reflect this specific craft tradition.
