<strong>Gemstones</strong> <strong>Industry</strong> <strong>in</strong> Bali<br />

Similar to <strong>Jakarta</strong>, Bali does not have gemstone m<strong>in</strong>es, so all of the gemstones are imported from other<br />

prov<strong>in</strong>ces. However, jewelry export from Bali is quite big. The follow<strong>in</strong>g table shows exports of gemstone<br />

from Bali.<br />

It started <strong>in</strong> 1985 when tourists from many different countries poured <strong>in</strong> to Bali for vacation and hol<strong>id</strong>ays<br />

They were amazed by the Bal<strong>in</strong>ese arts <strong>in</strong> mak<strong>in</strong>g beautiful artistic silver jewelry comb<strong>in</strong>ed with gemstone<br />

imported either from overseas or other gems produc<strong>in</strong>g prov<strong>in</strong>ces like South Kalimantan, East Java, Banten<br />

etc. The world has acknowledged that Bal<strong>in</strong>ese jewelry arts has high market<strong>in</strong>g value <strong>in</strong> the developed countries<br />

because of its highly artistic value. Many Bal<strong>in</strong>ese were bewildered when so many foreigners <strong>in</strong>vested<br />

their money <strong>in</strong> the jewelry <strong>in</strong>dustry, especially gemstones-decorated silver jewelries. Some of these foreigners<br />

used traditional and ancestral motives and designs and claimed them as their own creation and demand<br />

<strong>in</strong>tellectual property protection. It is a sensitive issue for many Bal<strong>in</strong>ese, but it doesn’t stop them from creat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

new des<strong>in</strong>gs and products.<br />

Maha Blanco Jewelry is one of the famous Bal<strong>in</strong>ese jewelry producer. It is named after the owner, Maha<br />

Dewi Blanco, daughter of the late Philip<strong>in</strong>e-born Spaniard Antonio Blanco, a world-famous visual artist, and<br />

Ni Ronji, a celebrated Bal<strong>in</strong>ese dancer. Her jewelry designs are a comb<strong>in</strong>ation of Spanish and Bal<strong>in</strong>ese arts.
