The divine and stunning peacock is an unmistakable sign of luxury and style in any creation of the Balinese region. Inspired by this gorgeous bird and its symbolism, artisan Made Wardika makes a distinguished piece paying homage to this regal creature, now adorning a sterling silver pendant necklace. Enhanced with a carved moon-shaped bone accent—a symbol of mysticism—and a combination of polished and oxidized finishes, the accessory is crowned with faceted amethyst, garnet and peridot jewels totaling over one carat.

Guided only by the radiant glow of moonlight, the nocturnal owl takes to the sky, led by her natural instinct to seek a quick meal for her and her young. The fly-by-night nature of the wise bird is captured in this pendant necklace in beautiful detail by Made Wardika. The circular pendant features a smiling crescent-moon hand-carved from bone, with a sterling silver owl family perched beside on a blooming branch. Below sits a faceted one-carat garnet in a setting of Balinese swirls and granules.

Hindu legends inspire Nyoman Rena in the impressive design of this ring. Crafted in sterling silver, the ring features the face and amethyst eyes of Kala Rau, said to cause the lunar eclipse. It is said that Kala Rau was offering mortals the elixir of immortality, known as Tirta Amerta, which he stole from the gods and goddesses. The Moon Goddess Ratih informed Vishnu, who threw his discus at Kala Rau to kill him. But since Kala Rau had just drunk the elixir and it was passing through his throat, even though he was beheaded, the only thing that survives in immortality is his head. It is said that now Kala Rau travels the skies in search of Ratih to exact his revenge. When he finds her, he tries to eat her, thus causing a lunar eclipse.

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.

In the curve of the crescent moon, a wise owl watches and waits. These unique dangle earrings are hand-carved of smooth cow bone by Made Wardika, who carefully details each feather. A sterling silver frame crowned by a faceted amethyst completes the design. The earrings swing from sterling hooks.
