A gold and silverworking center just beyond Batubulan, noted for its delicately detailed work and fine filigree-style silver pieces produced with the simplest of hand tools. Wayan Kardana and Wayan Kawi have earned solid reputations as skilled artisans, but at least 1,700 silver- and goldsmiths out of perhaps 2,500 on the whole island live and work in the cottage industries of Celuk. A skill passed down from father to son.

The classier showrooms are on the south side of town, where prices are usually given in U.S. dollars and credit cards accepted, practices that reveal who their clientele are.

The smaller silver workshops in the back of the village are cheaper. If heading toward Sukawati, turn down either of the small lanes on the left, just follow the tap-tapping of the small family compounds. These workshops are always willing to fill special orders and are quite capable of designing modern jewelry, particularly if you provide a prototype from which they can work.

They also offer their own contemporary designs suited to European and American tastes. Some pieces combine silver and gold. Request to view the craftsmen, jewelers, and apprentices-numbering from one to 35-at work in the rear of the building.
