Hand-Forged Silver Jewellery That Lifts Up Local Motifs
At a small workbench full of forging tools, a UMKM alumni turns silver sheet into rings and pendants. He refuses mass moulds, choosing to forge each piece one by one.
The motifs he engraves are often drawn from local culture: masks, temples, and the vine patterns typical of Malang.
Every piece comes with the story of its motif, making buyers feel they carry home more than just jewellery.
