designs of Marianna and Richard Jacobs. Over the years, Sajen’s jewelry line has
taken on a style that is unmistakably contemporary, while maintaining a subtle
ethnic character through the use of Balinese techniques. Richard and Marianna
are able to design intricate and unique pieces because of their thorough
understanding of how these skilled craftsmen work.
Indonesia. So off he and Marianna went, to Ubud, the cultural center of Bali, to live in a thatched roof bamboo
house bordering a rice paddy. While Richard developed his art, Marianna worked in a silver factory, creating
jewelry, learning the ancient secrets of the Balinese master silversmiths, and developing friendships with the
craftsmen who now produce Sajen’s quality line.
One of the many aspects of Balinese culture that influenced the Jacobs was the daily tradition of making
exquisite floral "offerings" to appease the gods. These offerings were often as simple as the presentation on
a palm leaf of a few flower petals with rice and incense. They commonly saw lines of women walking to temple
with ornate floral and fruit offerings stacked up to six feet high on top of their heads. These offerings inspired
their choice of “Sajen” (Indonesian word for “offerings”) as the company’s name.
According to Richard, "One of the most exciting aspects of the business is the pursuit of high quality semi-
precious stones from all over the world." Sometimes new styles call for a particular stone combination, but
often, learning about a new stone can spark a whole new design direction. For example, after discovering a
rare source of Namibian Pietersite, the Jacobs designed several pin/pendants incorporating these mysterious
stones.
Since that magical start in 1987, Sajen’s customer base has grown rapidly, giving Richard and Marianna the
opportunity to create an expanding range of designs that meet the diverse tastes of their audience. As a
result, they are pleased to have this opportunity to “offer” to you through their designs the fine stones and
metals that mother nature has made available to them.
