lovely necklaces

A pear-shaped briolette crafted from luminous purple amethyst and a natural rose quartz bead dangle from a black leather cord to create this lovely necklace presented by the Balinese workshop of Ketut Sulastri. A small sterling silver charm hand engraved with a banyan tree hangs alongside them, featuring a textured and oxidized finish.

From Sukartini, this intriguing pendant evokes an ancient lantern decorated with angel wings. It opens to reveal a shining brass sphere. The silver pendant is crowned with amethyst and a long sterling chain completes the lovely necklace.

Also called "angel necklaces" and "harmony balls," Such necklaces are often worn by pregnant women in Bali and also in Mexico. The chain lets the pendant reach to the belly and the delicate sounds are thought to soothe the mother and the baby she is carrying. Some believe it summons a guardian angel, thus making it a symbol of loving protection.

An iridescent blue pearl glows at the center of Dewi Putera's gem-encrusted pendant necklace. The Balinese artisan hand crafts the pendant from plenty of cool amethyst and icy blue topaz, surrounding the sparkling stones with sterling silver spirals. Dyed blue, the cultured freshwater pearl complements the gems perfectly, while a thick naga chain holds the pendant in place.

A heart-shaped cultured blue mabe pearl centers this lovely pendant necklace designed by Bali's Dewi Putera. Tiny garnet, citrine, and amethyst gemstones accent the cultured pearl, while a sterling silver tassel dangles elegantly below. The pendant swings from a sterling silver naga chain that closes with a lobster claw clasp.

Linked by sterling silver bathed in 22k gold, a mesmerizing array of amethyst gemstones circle the neck. This lovely rosary can be worn long or doubled over. Balinese artisan Ketut Sulastri creates the rosary, which culminates in a golden cross and amethyst beads that swing from a pendant depicting the Virgin Mary.
