This unique silver ring from Balinese artisan Nyoman Ariawan showcases handcrafted details. The wide, hammered sterling silver band is engraved with the baksara or ancient letters Sa Ba Ta A, which represent the four cardinal directions of East, South, West and North. Rope-like edges and oxidized contrasts make this ring a standout.

This hammered silver band engraved with the Balinese aksara script for the cardinal directions, North South, East and West is absolutely magnificent. The cardinal directions, firmly rooted in Balinese and Javanese culture and tradition have a place in everyday life in that part of the world, and if one is not familiar with these traditions they are well worth looking in to. A visual reminder of the importance of balance and harmony in daily living as represented in the engraving of the letters for the four directions, this outstanding ring by Nyoman Ariawan is a testament to the beauty and elegance of traditional Balinese silverwork.

Nyoman, thanks for your amazing workmanship and attention to detail. The opportunity to be able to tell admirers, about your chain, what part of the world you are from. I one day soon plan to visit Indonesia. I want to get to know your country and undersea beauty as a scuba diver.
