Beautiful design, going to be my wedding band
The Glad Arabesque ring is a happy surprise. The design is as lovely and unique as it appears in the photograph, the pop of gold makes the ring stand stand out and look a bit special. It is is very lightweight and comfortable - so it slides on with ease and you hardly notice you are wearing it. For those looking for a heavy piece, maybe not for you. But I have been wearing a heavy diamond band for years, and I love the artistic, fine, handmade feel of this. I had no expectations for this ring, buying online, but it is truly beautiful and timeless. I can't explain it, but I feel the artists' perfectionism in the piece.
Elegant, beautifully made and culturally rich.
This hammered silver band engraved with the Balinese aksara script for the cardinal directions, North South, East and West is absolutely magnificent. The cardinal directions, firmly rooted in Balinese and Javanese culture and tradition have a place in everyday life in that part of the world, and if one is not familiar with these traditions they are well worth looking in to. A visual reminder of the importance of balance and harmony in daily living as represented in the engraving of the letters for the four directions, this outstanding ring by Nyoman Ariawan is a testament to the beauty and elegance of traditional Balinese silverwork.
