Javanese artisan Selly Sagita creates this artisanal and beautiful brooch.About our Artist: Selly Sagita says, 'I was born in Central Java. My father was a Chinese immigrant who owned a small bicycle service shop, and my mother was from Yogyakarta. My family was very poor at that time but I was fortunate to be able to attend a public school where and I received certificates of recognition for academic achievement. to attend the university, I went to Yogyakarta but had to earn my own money for everything. I started teaching English and worked other jobs at the same time. I was tired, but happy. After I got married, we lived near a silver village. A lot of tourists walked by my house so I thought my husband and I could open a silver shop. My English could be useful. So that's how I became involved with silver work. No one taught me. I learned by doing. My filigree jewelry is uniquely assembled from silver strands and it requires skill to form a beautifully-detailed piece of jewelry. I believe that sparing time to have moments with God is the best way to have a clear mind and be able to solve our problems.'...
