jewelry with purpose

Bali's Ketut Jagrasunu finds inspiration in every little element that forms part of the breathtaking landscapes of his hometown. Fascinated by the tropical island, the artisan creates these floral dangle earrings with faceted peridot stones at the top, both believed to attract good fortune. On top of that, the accessory is also crowned with faceted amethyst jewels, which add a glamorous purple tone to the design.

Designed by Wayan Trisna, this stunning pendant necklace is inspired by the seven chakras: spinning disks of spiritual energy used in ancient meditation practices. The Balinese artisan uses sterling silver to hand craft the pendant, accenting each chakra with a different gemstone: purple amethyst, crimson garnet, fiery carnelian, bright peridot, cool iolite, sunny citrine, and pale rainbow moonstone.

The alley cat does her best to stay in the shadows. Contending with other night creatures, the feline also prefers to be neither seen nor heard. No wonder they call them "cat burglars!" The nocturnal nature of the notorious alley prowler is captured in beautiful detail by Balinese artisan Made Wardika. The circular pendant features a smiling crescent-moon, hand-carved from bone, with a cat of sterling silver sitting beside it. A pair of faceted garnet gemstones flank them, while the top and bottom are adorned with amethyst and peridot gems. The entire necklace receives a combination of oxidized and high-polish finishes for stunning visual contrast.

Crowned with petite floral motifs, a peridot sits regally in the center of this dramatic cocktail ring. Amethysts center the blossoms and citrine teardrops flank the verdant oval. Inspired by Balinese royalty, Kadek Hendra handcrafts the sterling silver ring with intricate oxidized engravings. The gemstones total two carats.
