Vintage Bali Silver ring, late 1980s. Java and Bali have a long history in the art of jewellery making, their artesans masters in the myriad techniques of embellishment, in high carat Gold. In Bali this art translated easily to Silver in the 1950s when the first serious waves of western travellers began to wash onto the island. By the early 1970s umpteen Silver jewellery manufacturing/wholesale businesses were operating in the Kuta area of Bali, all of them producing handcrafted Silver and many producing Silver work of fine general quality, especially those exercising quality control in close alliance with western buyers.
The above Vintage Bali Silver ring is an excellent example of quality Silver jewellery produced for a European market in the late 1980s, a ring basically Victorian English in style, set with a good quality Indian Moonstone, and all the bells and whistles of embellishment in the fine granulations, in the clean twist wire work, in the side floral motifs.
Nice work. Note, however, that all the above-mentioned embellishments have been applied, one by one, by hand, and though the work is sound, this is not a ring for rough wear.
