In their workshop in Ubud, Master Balinese artisans honour a centuries-old tradition, through the perfection of modern design, making timeless one-of-a-kind pieces that are brilliantly alive.

Asli is the Balinese and Indonesian word for “origin”, which speaks to the design of the link segments – an exaggerated shape based on how links of Classic Chain are woven together. Strength and sensuality co-exist in a unique harmony allowing the wearer to channel their power and grace.
