Solid, Elegant and Powerful
Just arrived today, this bracelet by Komang Suastra is beautifully constructed and elegantly designed. The Borobudur and Naga link chain that are so much a part of Indonesian culture combine to provide a very formidable and powerful piece of jewelry that certainly deserves the name, "Basuki Dragon". Even the heavy duty box clasp with safety latch that holds the bracelet together has a slight internal curve to match the curve of the chain. All in all, an outstanding piece of silverwork. Also, as always, the item was well packed for its' journey half way around the world and delivery via the express shipping option was very fast. Once again, thank you, Komang Suastra and thank you, Novica for world class quality and service.

A truly thoughtful gift
I originally bought this bracelet for my son a decade ago and he's worn it every day since then. The symbolism is wonderful, the quality is excellent, and it has quickly become his most valued possession. As the leather has stretched, frayed, and worn over the years we decided to retire the original to his memory box and replace it with a new one that can better withstand his active lifestyle. The weave is straighter/tighter now, but other than that the new one is identical to the original. When checking sizing be aware that you'll need 1/2 to 3/4 inch of slack in order to work the clasp. It's a bit tricky to work, which is great for assuring it won't fall off but affects the length you need too. All-in-all I'm very pleased with this purchase.
