gemstone necklaces

Inspired by Hindu beliefs, Made Wardika crafts a lovely pendant necklace in his characteristic style. The image of the elephant-headed god Ganesha is hand-carved from a bone pendant, framed by sterling silver with floral motifs. A sparkling gem of amethyst decorates the frame, and the necklace adorns the wearer on a length of sterling chain.

The Hindu elephant deity Ganesha, known as the 'Remover of Obstacles', is the theme of this pendant necklace from Rosalia Tarigan in Bali. The designer creates a pendant of Ganesha's head, which is crowned with an elaborate headdress bearing a faceted onyx stone. The pendant centers a sleek sterling silver Borobudur chain.

Vishnu is the supreme creator and guardian of the universe, transcending space and time and inspiring many artists throughout history. Balinese artisan Nyoman Rena says he draws inspiration from this powerful deity to create this handcrafted sterling silver pendant necklace with an amethyst stone embellishing a Vishnu image.

"My hope regarding world peace: may all creatures in the world always be in harmony, peaceful horizontally and vertically or what is called the concept of Tri Hita Karana in the teachings of Hinduism. Meanwhile, the reality of the world today is different, it is turning away from our expectations, such as economic war or competition in life which justifies all means and forgets the principles of brotherhood and kinship," says the artisan.

Shrouded in Balinese silver motif, twin 18k rose gold accents and a single faceted blue topaz weighing over six carats, this collar necklace captivates with its commanding presence. Crafting unique jewelry to promote the special beauty of Bali, artisan Sukartini works with local silversmiths to present this highly detailed collar necklace inspired by local mythology, representing Basuki, the dragon tasked with Earth's salvation by the Hindu gods.
