Is There Really a Carmen?

of Carmen Creations, as well as being deeply involved in community and global activism.

Where is Your Jewelry Made?
The jewelry featured on this site was designed by Carmen de Novais and handcrafted in Bali
by skilled traditional artisans. Using the finest materials available and traditional time-tested
beading techniques, the result is exquisite and durable. Our promise to you is the utmost quality
in workmanship and materials.

The artists in Bali are world-class artisans, not sweat-shop laborers. We support the talents of
a small group of artisans in a traditional village. We are interested in the preservation of indigenous
cultures and artforms around the world and are proud to support the talented beaders of Bali.
