Four-petaled shapes reminiscent of the ancient Javanese batik motif called kawung become pretty butterflies in these unique dangle earrings. They grace sterling silver earrings that have been set with faceted square amethysts by artisan Dewi Putera in Bali.

These pretty dangle earrings from Dewi Putera in Bali showcase all that is traditional to Balinese jewelry, including the motifs known as jawan (tiny silver granules or dots) and bun (curled silver wire). The leaf-like shapes even call to mind the kawung motif, one of the oldest Javanese batik motifs. Sparkling drops of amethyst grace the dangle earrings.

Framed in the elegance of sterling silver, carnelian and amethyst combine their lustrous hues in delightful harmony. Made Sriasih calls these earrings kuping gajah, for they resemble highly adorned "elephant ears." An inspired design of eloquent elegance, Sriasih handcrafts them to evidence the legendary allure of Indonesian jewellery she learned from her father. Sriasih presents these earrings in a batik covered box, lined with velvet and finished with palm leaf thread. These earrings make for a stunning complement to an outfit of refined taste.
