His jewellery is also inspired by Thai and Indonesian, and made there as well. The Jai line is supposedly based on Thai designs, but the gold details on silver look very Indonesian to me.</p><p>But again, basically Thai and Indonesian jewellery with small modifications, sold under a Western name to fetch designer prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Among the first Western designers to have jewellery made in Bali were Marianna and Richard Jacobs with Sajen. Many of their designs were their own, although inspired by Balinese culture and silver crafts. They immersed themselves in Balinese society and culture, and are now also cooperating with Jaipur (Rajasthan, India) craftspeople.</p><p>They stopped making Sajen jewellery, but made a restart under the name Offerings Jewelry by Sajen. Sajen is offering in Indonesian, an important concept in Indonesian culture.</p><p>Here is an &#039;old&#039; Sajen pendant which I am now wearing, Jacobs design with a hint of Bali. The stones are topaz, iolite, amethyst:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]128706[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
