A serene and regal face, delicately carved of cow bone, adorns this necklace from Bali's Komang Suastra. She is Candra Kirana, princess of Kediri (a kingdom in East Java). Bedecked with over 2 carats of amethysts and crowned with sterling silver, the pendant is suspended from a sterling silver wheat chain.

Candra Kirana (whose name means 'Radiant Ray of the Moon') was the princess of Kediri in East Java. On the eve of her wedding day, Candra Kirana disappears. A demoness who wants Prince Panji (her bridegroom) for herself takes the form of a beautiful princess and tells the prince that she is his wife but has been transformed by the goddess Durga. Meanwhile, Candra Kirana finds herself deep in the forest, where she attracts the attention of the gods. Disguised by the gods as a man, she travels to the palace to be reunited with her bridegroom. When the demoness’s true identity is revealed, Candra Kirana magically vanishes. Panji goes in search of his bride, who has since become the king of Bali. At the climax, the prince fights with the disguised Chandra Kirana. According to the gods’ command, she must draw Panji’s blood in order to reveal her true identity. For a long time, neither of them brings harm to the other, but eventually Princess Candra Kirana draws her hairpin and pricks Prince Panji; thus she is finally reunited with her beloved.

Crafted in a traditional, lovely heart-shaped design, this necklace is the perfect way to wear your emotions on your sleeve, or at least around your neck. Made Wardika handcrafts the exquisite setting from sterling silver in an intricate Balinese motif of tendrils and granules. A faceted amethyst crowns the pendant, while cultured pearls beads dance delicately beneath. However, the main attraction on this necklace is the prominent black heart carved from bone. When illustrated as a symbol of love, hearts are most notably depicted in red but, as black is the combination of all colors, we like to think this heart signifies a love as deep as the night is dark.

Diligently carved by hand from natural bone, the image of Jesus decorates this large oval pendant necklace from Java.
