This amazing pendant necklace features a handcrafted design by Indonesia's Made Wardika. The shape of an owl is carved into a medallion of bone, surrounded by sterling silver motifs and topped with an amethyst stone of over one carat. Hanging from a leather cord, this pendant captures the magnificent beauty of a forest during the nighttime.

With an expression of dreamy repose, a serene beauty sleeps undisturbed. Indonesian artisan Komang Suastra presents this stunning pendant necklace, featuring a cameo carved from cow bone. The face is crowned with sterling silver and bedecked with 2.5 carats of sparkling blue topaz. Suastra names the necklace after the beautiful woman in a Javanese legend.

The story tells of Dayang Sumbi, a beautiful woman in West Java. She banished her son Sankuriang for disobeying her, in turn receiving the gift of eternal youth from the gods. After many years in exile, Sangkuriang returned home, long after the two had forgotten each other. Sangkuriang fell in love with Dayang Sumbi and decided to marry her, but she recognized him at the last minute. In order to prevent the marriage from taking place, Dayang Sumbi asked Sangkuriang to complete two impossible tasks before sunrise--building a dam on the river Citarum, and a large boat to cross the river. However, Sangkuriang enlisted mythical creatures to aid him in his tasks, so he was nearly finished as daybreak approached. Dayang Sumbi saw that the tasks were almost completed, so she summoned her workers to spread red silk cloths east of the city, to appear as if it was dawn breaking. Sangkuriang was fooled, and kicked the dam and the unfinished boat in frustration, resulting in terrible flooding and the creation of the volcano Tangkuban Perahu.

Beating to the tune of the same passion, the hearts that compose Made Wardika's romantic necklace symbolize the beauty of love. The Balinese artisan honors one of the sweetest emotions with this sterling silver accessory, whose classic details exude dapper grace. Crowned with a natural one-carat garnet jewel, the necklace shines with seductive scarlet light.

This dramatic pendant necklace is the original design of Made Wardika in Bali. A sinuous serpent, beautifully carved of smooth white bone, curls back upon itself as part of a sterling silver pendant. Among twining silver vines and leaves, a faceted garnet glows.

This beautiful pendant necklace presented by Buana of Bali is named Matahari, the Indonesian word for "sun." A piece of cream-colored bone carved with a face of a resting sun is featured at the center of the pendant. Radiating out from the sun are interconnecting sterling silver circles set with seven carats of pear-shaped blue topaz and amethyst gemstones sparkling like the sun's rays.
