The Pande Legacy: Masters of
In the heart of Bali, where tradition and artistry intertwine, the name Pande holds deep cultural significance. For generations, the Pande family has been revered as master metalworkers—craftsmen whose knowledge and skills are passed down like heirlooms. At Widiart Jewelry, we’re honored to collaborate with artisans from this proud lineage to bring you custom sterling silver pieces rooted in heritage, passion, and precision.
Who Are the Pande?
In Balinese tradition, the name “Pande” is more than a surname—it’s a title of honor for families descended from skilled blacksmiths and metal artisans. Historically, the Pande were entrusted with sacred tasks such as forging ceremonial kris (daggers), temple ornaments, and jewelry for the royal courts.
As the centuries passed, their craft evolved. Today, many Pande families specialize in fine silver jewelry, blending ancient techniques with contemporary design.
The Art of Silver Jewelry Making
Silverwork is not just a job for the Pande—it’s a way of life. From a young age, children in the family observe and assist their elders at the workbench, learning how to:
- Melt and mold sterling silver 925
- Hand-carve intricate patterns and textures
- Set stones with precision and balance
- Create filigree and granulation by hand—techniques that require exceptional patience and skill
Every piece they create tells a story, drawing from Balinese culture, nature, and spiritual symbolism.
