Sterling Silver Frog Pin
In the traditional silversmithing village of Celuk - on the island of Bali - jewelry is exquisitely handcrafted - using unique and painstakingly detailed techniques - which are passed down through families for generations. Paradiso has worked closely for two decades with small families in this village. As each piece is entirely hand-fabricated - no two are exactly identical; each is an individual work of art.Each frog pin is handcrafted of sterling silver - decorated with a pattern of carefully formed and hammered silver balls of varying sizes - capturing the texture and playful spirit of this noisy inhabitant of Bali?s rice terraces. A braid of sterling wire adorns each creature?s spine - twisted sterling rope creates individual toes - and beads of silver form the eyes that give each piece its own unique expression.
