Winter 2019 - 27. Gold and Silver Smith


Outside Was More Interesting Than Inside

27.   Gold and Silver Smith

Agung meant well, but some places are too commercial, too many tourists go there, the uniqueness is gone. Such was the case with our visit to Sari Dewi, a large ‘factory’ for jewelry.

Tools of the Trade But No Demonstration
Naturally the items offered had a very, very Indian, Hindu kind of look to them. Not something a Canadian would appreciate and use in their wardrobe.

Way Too Ornate For Me
Some pieces were very elaborate but the metal was mostly silver, the few gold items were the lesser end of gold, 12 or 14K and not appealing.

I sat on a bench and the shop served me a mint tea, Carol tried to find something she could like but it did not take long before she came and said to Agung to move on to our next stop.

The workmanship was good, it’s just the ‘looks’ are not up Carol’s alley.
