For the next few weeks, I want to visit the World. What I mean is, I want to showcase Jewelry made with Sterling Silver from various parts of the World.

Having been in the Jewelry Selling Business for going on... Well, too many years to mention, I have had a chance to visit many exotic countries and see how various types of jewelry are made. I want to take country by country and share what I have learned and seen through the years.

I hope this is of interest. Please email me and let me know...

Bali is an island part of Indonesia and is 300 miles from Australia and about a million hours flight time from the USA.

My wife and I visited Bali a few years ago, though we had been buying Jewelry from several Bali Manufacturers for years and had gotten to know them quite well.

While there we visited them and saw their factories and showrooms and it was quite an enlightening trip.

First of all, there is actually a Starbucks in Bali. And this was pretty amazing to us. We flew into Denpasar Airport and we had hired a driver so we could find the "resort" we were going to stay at.

The streets and roads of Bali are thick with small motorbikes sometimes tooling along at breakneck speeds with multiple passengers as many as 4 to one motorbike.

So we drove north from the airport for several miles until we "found" our "resort". Not what I thought of as a traditional resort though. It was off the main road by about 1/4 mile through the jungle. The name of the resort escapes me now but it was amazing.

Next, we drove to the Monkey Forest...

The Sacred Monkey Forest was remarkable in that there were Monkeys everywhere!!. They were friendly and not so friendly depending if you had snacks. The picture here is a typical family picture from grandpa to mom and dad and the kids.

We next found Starbucks.

We were very relieved to have found this gem!!

Anyway, we then went looking for the area Manufacturing factories. We were surprised to find so many small factories where the workers were making Beautiful jewelry by hand!!??!!

The sort of Jewelry made there consists of mostly coral, abalone, Mother-of-pearl and we carry many one-of-a-kind pendants and earrings from Bali.

There is the "bali" chain which we also carry. It is a beautiful chain otherwise known as the byzantine chain. Visit our website to see some of these beautiful pieces.

We also, on this same trip visited Hong Kong and went to a Jewelry Trade Show in Thailand. More on those when I cover each place separately.

But as a teaser, Thailand is very well known for its elaborate necklaces made from semi-precious stones. All made by hand and beautiful.
