Budi is our best silversmith and also the one we have worked with for the longest time. He has since gone freelance and built his own smithy. His wife sows the  beutiful bags which we sell our Jewelry in. Next year he would like to look for a trainee to whom he can pass on his skills. Budi is a master silversmith trained in the traditional Javanese method. This includes flush setting gems with a hammer and bending the ring bands manually. This is truly a dying art, championed only by a few remaining artisans.
