Indonesian artists excel in the precious metalworking crafts, especially in silversmithing and in the setting of semi-precious stones such as quartz, agate, moonstone, onyx, jasper, carnelian in silver and gold. Metalworking is still thriving in the areas where Hindu influence was once strongest: in the prosperous seaports of Java, Bali, South Celebes, coastal Borneo, and all over Sumatra. Precious metals are often mixed with other metals to obtain different nuances of color land also to save money). In Aceh, North Sumatra, acid is even used to discolor ornamental gold. Stones are seldom polished so as to preserve their natural look and sometimes even nut casings or shiny green wings of beetles are set in gold; for the,beauty of it, not for the 'value'. Silver, contrary to popular belief, is quite cheap, especially cheap the way they cut it in Indonesiaas little as US$4 an ounce. No matter what the silversmiths of Bali, Yogya and Bukittingi say about all the excruciating handtooled work it took to make a particular piece, never pay more than Rp600-1500 for a ring, small brooch or pendant.
