Story Behind the Art:
Zayd Makarim was born in West Java, Indonesia. From the time he was a child, he liked art. 'I did paintings and sculptures for fun,' he recalls. 'It started as an assignment for school but, by doing them, I discovered I liked art so much that it became one of my passions.As an adult, Makarim's job took him to Bali. 'I'd always had a dream to come to Bali, and also to travel,' he says. And my dream came true.' In Bali he worked for a famous jewelry designer and that's where he learned about silver and design, and began making his own jewelry.It all started because of my wife's birthday. I wanted to create a gift for her, so I made a pair of earrings. When they were done, I could not believe my eyes because they were so beautiful... and she loved them!' he confides. 'Many of her friends asked if I could make some for them. I started thinking about taking my passion seriously and I decided to create my own jewelry line.'
