The Celuk community began working a lot on silverwork in 1935, so the profession of silversmiths (memande) in Celuk Village grew and expanded by the time.
Their work also developed. At first, craftsmen made tools for ceremonial facilities for religious purposes. Now, it developed into jewelry (accessories) such as rings, earrings, necklaces (penden), bracelets, brooches, and so on.
The idea outlined in the form of crafts is inspired by Balinese decorative motifs such as plants and animals that involve visual elements such as points, lines, fields, space, colors, and textures.
This decorative motif is a legacy that has been used for generations.
