The beauty of Bali's natural splendor is forever an inspiration for Putu Oka Mahendra. He designs a fascinating ceramic tea set shaped like banana leaves in fine detail. The set includes two cups and a teapot featuring a rattan handle and curious little frog.

Roses frame the face of a slumbering woman, her serene features hand-carved from bone. Framed in silver, the ornate earrings feature the sparkle of cool green peridot. Buana creates exquisite jewelry for the modern romantic.

Poised to leap, a tiny frog scans the sky with bright eyes. A harbinger of rain, his shrill evening song echoes through the tropical rainforest of Bali. Putu Oka Mahendra creates an exquisite tea set for four in refreshing shades of green. Crafted by hand, the teapot features a rattan handle. Four matching cups and saucers complete the set.

Balinese artist Made Pasek Kusuma Wijay chooses to express his plea for world peace in a painting depicting a woman's prayer. "The state of the world is not fine, given the many wars, conflicts between countries and very heartbreaking human tragedies," says the artist. "Let us pray sincerely that the world situation will return to peace as we strive to live a more simple, carefree life with mutual respect and tolerance between our existing differences. Despite the conditions of the world, we always yearn for peace itself.

"Galloping across a surreal mountain landscape, a team of horses carries forward the hope of an entire society from the lofty reality of the highlands to the life of the commoner below. Riding on the back of a bird resembling the Hindu god of strength, Garuda, a faceless woman prays to the divine spirits, having passed through a period of blood and turbulence. Garuda also prays with his human-like hands as if to encourage himself to continue his mission of vigilance.

"Reflected in the grass of the mountains, the woman's prayers mirror above and below the path of the raptor, symbolizing the transverse support from across the country for her mission. A handshake arises from the woman's mind in a floral accord between two immortal parties.

"In a world plagued by conflict and the horrors of violence, the woman's prayer, the subtle handshake and the impressive flight of the god of strength prescribe peace for all of humanity. Realism cannot deliver this humane desire to reality.

"Scaled to surreal proportions, the woman's prayers make multiple appearances in increasing size, while the mighty bird soars above an entire team of horses, with various hands apparent."

Nestled amid sterling arabesques, a single peridot, which represents August´s birthstone, graces this lovely ring. It totals some 1.5 carats. Kenari crafts a very feminine design in finely worked silver.
