A Treasured Golden Gift
Exquisite necklace that is beautifully crafted beyond my expectations. Giuliana Valz-Gen is truly an artist.
Sterling silver torsade necklace, 'Borobudur Dragon'
By Daryl
Uniquely beautiful necklace
This necklace is a show stopper! Its much more substantial and shiny than I expected, which is good. It will hold its own against heavier winter fabrics and will still be appropriate for summer wear. Thank you, Komang, for creating this uniquely beautiful piece! I know Ill enjoy wearing it.

About Handcrafted Jewellery
Men and women have adorned themselves with jewelry since long before the age of reason! Garlands of flowers, bracelets of woven grass, shells, and stone; such were the first decorations to beautify the human body. We may have been wearing jewellery as far back as 75,000 years ago - 30,000 years earlier than previously believed - according to a recent report by National Geographic News. Over the millennia, jewellery styles and materials have evolved in step with the advances of civilization. From the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, from the Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution (and seemingly back again!), jewellery styles have transformed, modernized, and then often returned to their most basic forms and essential elements.
