The pictures honestly do not do this piece justice
Upon receiving this ring, I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the piece. It is heavier and larger than I expected, and you can tell it is very solid quality silver. I've bought 10 or 12 pieces of silver jewelry on Novica within the past year, and this one is one of the very best. Highly recommended!
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.
