cultural jewelry

The traditions and customs of the evergreen Bali region inspire artisan Suar Dwipayana to transport the island's cultural richness to a pair of sublime jewelry pieces. As an expert in silversmithing techniques, the artist works with classic methods to craft these sterling silver dangle earrings, whose details imitate the ancient gongs that once resonated around the region's palaces. Accented with floral details and a combination of polished and oxidized finishes, the pieces showcase faceted citrine gems, whose three-carat round cut shines with yellow light as a symbol of joy.

Inspired by the traditional janger dancers of Indonesia, Balinese artisan Buana designs a strikingly beautiful pair of dangle earrings. The faces of the dancers are carved by hand of bone, framed by handcrafted sterling silver headdresses with intricate wire and dot motifs, crowned by petite jepun, or frangipani flowers. Cultured pearl earrings dangle, and faceted citrine gems are displayed at the bottom.

When the chakra centers align in harmonious unity, life becomes enchanting and peaceful. India's Sumit Dhawan channels these magical sensations in this beaded necklace, composed of precious gem beads in a rainbow palette. The accessory has a sterling silver pendant where faceted sodalite, garnet, blue topaz, carnelian, amethyst, peridot and citrine stones rest, forming a one-carat arrangement that represents each chakra center.

Let the spiritual center of vitality and strength illuminate your days! Artisan Bhavya Jain introduces the basic concepts of the Chakra doctrine into your life through these exquisite dangle earrings, masterfully crafted in the shape of the solar plexus chakra, inviting you to revitalize your soul. The accessories, boasting a high-polish finish, are decorated with faceted citrine gems whose yellow shine totals one carat.

India's Alok Jain presents a stunning design inspired by the ancient Hindu doctrine. Featuring the ancestral Om sign, this 22k gold-plated pendant necklace aims to be an amulet of peace and reflection, as its traditional motifs made using advanced metalwork techniques evoke the divine aura of the classic Indian temples.

Furthermore, seven faceted gemstones in a round cut rest in the accessory, each representing one of the seven chakras: amethyst, the stone of wisdom, as the crown chakra; carnelian, the stone of confidence, as the sacral chakra; peridot, the stone of prosperity, as the heart chakra; garnet, the stone of perseverance, as the root chakra; iolite, the stone of intuition, as the third eye chakra; blue topaz, the stone of righteousness, as the throat chakra; and citrine, the stone of success, as the solar plexus chakra.
