carved gemstone

This stunning bracelet is presented by artisan Buana in Bali. The sterling silver pendant features a sleek dolphin, surrounded by precious faceted amethyst, blue topaz, and citrine stones that total five carats. Flanking the pendant are substantial chains of sterling silver that culminate in a polished toggle clasp.

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.

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.

Diligently carved by hand from natural bone, the image of Jesus decorates this large oval pendant necklace from Java. Rosalia Tarigan designs the necklace, featuring intricate designs in sterling silver that frame the bone. A teardrop of faceted amethyst is displayed just above the image of Jesus. The designer imagines Jesus praying in Gethsemane Garden.
