Quality is first and foremost for Exotic Treasures, therefore all of our gemstone jewelry is made with .925 sterling silver only. Consequently, we pride ourselves in selling exceptionally high-quality gemstones as well. We offer unique products, and since all of our items are handcrafted, no two pieces are exactly alike. We generally have no more than one or two of the same types of pieces in stock so that we can keep offering rare quality products.

Growing up, my family has had an interest in other cultures, so in 2002 I took my daughter to the island of Bali for her high school graduation gift. After being there just a few days of our three-week vacation we knew that our lives were changed forever. We made a promise to ourselves, and to many villagers to whom we became so fond of, to return yearly or as often as possible.

While there, we fell in love with the balinese sterling silver jewelry and were intrigued by it's quality and the artisans' hardwork. During our visit, terrorists attacked Bali, killing over 200 people. Shortly after this terrible devastation, we realized just how important tourism and trade are to them. We wanted to help the Balinese villagers in some way because they are such amazing people, taking great pride in everything they do. Above all, family happiness and peace seem to be among their top core values.

Sadly, this beautiful island has undergone yet another devastating terrorist attack, though they remain the most loving, peaceful, and giving people we have ever met. Bali natives have suffered much loss and will endure even more due to the direct hit to the economy. The ultimate success of it's economy is based solely on tourism, which is crucial for Bali's survival.

Many people would like to help but fear travel due to all of the terrorism affecting our countries. We think there is nothing we can do, but indirectly, there is. By simply purchasing our balinese sterling silver jewelry or any items made by these fine artisans, you are helping, since the livelihood of Bali depends on tourism.

Yes, this is my business, however I take great pride in contributing in any way possible. The balinese people deserve a peaceful existence and a chance to preserve the innocent, loving, hard-working culture in which they were raised. I didn't choose to sell any particular products... My trip to Bali and the beautiful people behind the products chose me.
Please bear with us while we continue to work on various areas of our website. We plan to include many more products and links. Exotic Treasures and the wonderful Bali natives would like to thank all of you for your support!
