beautiful rings

Made Wardika depicts a white owl holding a baby bird in its protective embrace. Working in bone, he carves the pendant by hand and displays it on a long cord necklace of dark brown leather. Animals are a favorite theme for this Balinese artisan.

A wise owl gazes knowingly from this beautiful silver pendant necklace designed by Bali's Yuniati. Hand crafted from sterling silver, the body of the owl features ornate designs in a combination finish. The necklace is finished with a cable chain and closed with a spring ring clasp.

The alley cat does her best to stay in the shadows. Contending with other night creatures, the feline also prefers to be neither seen nor heard. No wonder they call them "cat burglars!" The nocturnal nature of the notorious alley prowler is captured in beautiful detail by Balinese artisan Made Wardika. The circular pendant features a smiling crescent-moon, hand-carved from bone, with a cat of sterling silver sitting beside it. A pair of faceted garnet gemstones flank them, while the top and bottom are adorned with amethyst and peridot gems. The entire necklace receives a combination of oxidized and high-polish finishes for stunning visual contrast.

"The dove is a bird of love, with a gentle face symbolizing love for all the universe and a call for universal peace. With this design, I'm offering a constant reminder to the wearer to maintain thoughts of peace, and to remember to imitate the dove's character," explains the artisan.

"If a community is able to create peace in terms of living conditions, and in terms of embracing the existence of others in general, the population in each village will be happy to carry out activities in each of their diverse fields, including the farmers who are happy to go to the fields, office employees or civil servants, and so on and on, with the spirit of carrying out duties and responsibilities well for the harmony of all. So that macro-economy and technology will continue to develop positively, and human resources can still be relied upon for world development. If these aspects develop well, then the creation of harmonious relationships with our fellow human beings, and also with the universe, is possible."

Bali's Buana creates a lovely design featuring a beautiful dove carved from bone. This sterling silver necklace has a faceted blue topaz gemstone for a breathtaking accessory symbolizing peace.

Resting on a swirling halo, a fierce dragon is crafted of sterling silver in this pendant necklace from Bali. Dewa Arimbawa designs the necklace, which features 3.5 carats of natural garnet gemstones that circle part of the ring. A combination of finishes perfectly accentuates the dragon's features.
