With an expression of dreamy repose, a serene beauty sleeps undisturbed. Indonesian artisan Komang Suastra presents this stunning pendant necklace, featuring a cameo carved from cow bone. The face is crowned with sterling silver and bedecked with 2.5 carats of sparkling blue topaz. Suastra names the necklace after the beautiful woman in a Javanese legend.

The story tells of Dayang Sumbi, a beautiful woman in West Java. She banished her son Sankuriang for disobeying her, in turn receiving the gift of eternal youth from the gods. After many years in exile, Sangkuriang returned home, long after the two had forgotten each other. Sangkuriang fell in love with Dayang Sumbi and decided to marry her, but she recognized him at the last minute. In order to prevent the marriage from taking place, Dayang Sumbi asked Sangkuriang to complete two impossible tasks before sunrise--building a dam on the river Citarum, and a large boat to cross the river. However, Sangkuriang enlisted mythical creatures to aid him in his tasks, so he was nearly finished as daybreak approached. Dayang Sumbi saw that the tasks were almost completed, so she summoned her workers to spread red silk cloths east of the city, to appear as if it was dawn breaking. Sangkuriang was fooled, and kicked the dam and the unfinished boat in frustration, resulting in terrible flooding and the creation of the volcano Tangkuban Perahu.

When used in jewelry, amber beads can include a stunning arrangement of tones and hues. Natural amber ranges from yellow to deep orange. It may sometimes even have a green cast to it, as well as opaque swirls within. Because amber is the preserved resin of prehistoric trees that grew millions of years ago, it sometimes has tiny inclusions of plants and insects -- making it highly prized.

Nestled between sterling silver frangipanis, the moon sleeps with a placid smile upon her face. Peridot and citrine guard her dreams in a fabulous design by Buana, in Bali. The handcrafted cow bone pendant can be worn hanging from the bale, or with the braided leather cord threaded through the pipe under the bale.
