Local Girl Goes Global with TULOLA 

A year ago, Sri Luce decided to turn her eclectic childhood into a business and created Tulola; a jewelry line fusing traditional and contemporary Balinese design inspired by Sri's personal global style.

After all it's in her genes: her Balinese mother is originally from Ubud and is well known as Bali's first female painter to have held a private exhibition of her artwork; her American father was one of Bali's first silver jewelry exporters having discovered the island's expert craftsmanship in the late seventies.

Having grown up between Queens and Indonesia; with a three year stint at a Quaker boarding school, Sri finally settled on NYU for university. Anyone from an island knows that it's not always easy to spend too much time away from home. Bali soon beckoned and Sri's parents made a deal with her.

She could leave NYU but only if she agreed to work for the family's jewelry company. So after two years as an assistant and designer, Sri took over the biz and managed the company for four years. 

Twelve months after taking the plunge on her own, Tulola's stunning brushed gold plated cuff bracelets have been seen on the wrists of Courtney Love and Penelope Cruz.
