Tulola Designs

Tulola Designs is a modern, luxury jewelry brand that partners with artisans to incorporate exquisitely handcrafted details into our collections.

Tulola was first started in 2007 by designer Sri Luce-Rusna. Sri opened the Tulola Studio working on one-of-a-kind art wear pieces focused on elevating traditional craftsmanship techniques into new levels. Sri’s work caught the attention of Happy Salma, who shared a common passion for Indonesian culture and artisan work. When Franka Franklin-Makarim joined as co-founder, bringing with her years of extensive retail, e-commerce and management skills into the company, the business grew exponentially.

The company’s founders all shared a vision of building a sustainable business that promotes the evolution of artisan silver and gold craft, deeply inspired by Indonesia’s culture, arts and even literature.

Drawing inspiration from Indonesian Archipelago, we explore our heritage by discovering motifs and designs from our past and innovating them in modern and fresh collections.

“It is about the craftsmanship, the time, the detail, the continuous study of the perfection of an ancient craft.”
