Purity is often represented by white roses, as their tender image helps many find inner peace. Balinese artisan Buana's also uses this charming flower as the main piece of a sterling silver necklace crafted to spread a message of unity and peace. The accessory comes in a combination finish that enhances its traditional motifs, with a cow bone pendant dangling gracefully at the bottom.

Hand-carved from bone, the face of a soldier is framed by a handcrafted headdress of sterling silver. Balinese artisan Buana designs this pendant necklace, accentuated by gemstones of citrine and blue topaz.

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.

"The lily flower is a symbol of peace, and wearing it can be interpreted as a sincerity to live a life of peace. This symbolic flower describes purity, modesty, and peace. I hope this jewelry set helps spread peace, as a reminder to the wearer and observer that the character of a lily flower needs to be applied by the community to achieve world peace."

Inspired by that symbolism and determined to spread a message of unity, Balinese artisan Arta Pradana handcrafts this marvelous sterling silver and cow bone jewelry set featuring a pendant necklace and dangle earrings.
