creative rings

Cotton threads form a dapper black and white macrame cord, part of Balinese artisan Komang Agus Saputra's newest creation. After finishing the bracelet's band, the artisan adds a cow pendant featuring traditional motifs of the region for a bohemian and cultural vibe.

Welcome spring with the fresh green gems and floral motif on Ayu Ary's charming pendant bracelet. The Balinese artisan centers the bracelet with a pale flower, hand carved from natural bone, then embellishes her creation with two faceted peridot gems in bezel settings. A sterling silver rolo chain and spring ring clasp add shining details.

The collision of two worlds brought to life a traditional cross that symbolized the beginning of a new era. Celtic beliefs and Christian faith motivated ancient civilizations to create this intricate design, now inspiring Bali's Made Wardika to create a stunning necklace. After carving the pendant from cow bone, the artisan adds an adjustable leather cord for a comfortable fit, with a little sterling silver hoop allowing the centerpiece to dangle gracefully.

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.

In Bali, artisan-jeweler Buana crafts this stunning World Peace Project design featuring gentle doves handcrafted from bone. "The dove is a bird of love, with a gentle face symbolizing world peace. I've carefully decorated this unique dove with flowers in the shape of a heart, symbolizing love for all the universe and a call for universal peace. By creating this message in the form of a bracelet, I’m offering a constant reminder to the wearer to maintain thoughts of peace, and to remember to imitate the dove’s character.

"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."

This sterling silver bracelet features faceted blue topaz and citrine stones in a dazzling design symbolizing peace.
