Jewellery for the home
By Maharani Craft from Indonesia
What happens if you ask a jeweller’s daughter to create new opportunities for the family business? She will explore creative applications for the wonderful semi-precious materials that are expertly crafted by hand! Irene Setiawati steered Maharani Craft into new waters by launching ranges of home décor.
Products include beautiful bowls, plates and candle holders. And gems for the dinner table – a collection of napkin rings and cutlery with semi-precious metals and stones. Hooks and doorknobs are also available in these finely crafted materials.
Maharani uses local, natural materials such as agate, pyrite, petrified wood and jasper as well as brass, silver and seashells. They also use locally sourced natural wood which is traceable and has VLK certification.
All products are crafted by hand by artisans earning a fair wage. Maharani has been a guaranteed member of the World Fair Trade Organisation since 2017. They work with producer groups and communities across Bali in Indonesia. Maharani supports their producers by providing equipment to ensure good working conditions.
All products show an amazing attention to detail, beautifully polished and finished. Like you would expect from a jewellery maker. That does not mean Maharani is afraid of being bold. They are also designing chunky and bold shapes with a rough finish. Their robust platters can be used for candles, for cheese or for showcasing jewellery.
Irene Setiawati will visit Ambiente Frankfurt from Februari 7 to 11, 2025. She is more than happy to schedule an appointment at the trade fair. If you would like to receive a catalogue or know more about buying from Indonesia or co-creating with Maharani, you can also contact Irene Vermeulen, based in the Netherlands. And guess what, Maharani also still makes jewellery.
