symbolic bracelets

A diverse set of symbols decorate this pretty beaded bracelet from Bali's Made Wardika. Hand threaded on black leather cord, the bracelet features round beads made from cow bone. The beads are meticulously hand carved, then stained with tea in a light brown tone. The bracelet is finished with a sliding knot closure.

Crafted in the stunning Gianyar, Buana's newest creation draws inspiration from ancient doctrines to ornament its elegant design. The Balinese artisan uses sterling silver to create this cuff bracelet, later adding hand-carved cow bone accents imitating lotus blooms, the flowers of divinity. As a touch of luxury, Buana sets faceted blue topaz stones, whose hues symbolize loyalty.

The ancient Balinese kingdom comes to life again in the precious details decorating Buana's design. This sterling silver cuff bracelet is decorated with the region's regal ornaments, including two mystic moon-shaped bone pieces set at the front to call for the universe's blessing. As a majestic touch, a faceted seven-carat lapis lazuli jewel rests at the centre, symbolizing royalty.

In Bali, artisan-jeweler Buana crafts this stunning World Peace Project design featuring gentle doves handcrafted from bone. "The dove is a bird of love, with a gentle face symbolizing world peace. I've carefully decorated this unique dove with flowers in the shape of a heart, symbolizing love for all the universe and a call for universal peace. By creating this message in the form of a bracelet, I’m offering a constant reminder to the wearer to maintain thoughts of peace, and to remember to imitate the dove’s character.

"If a community is able to create peace in terms of living conditions, and in terms of embracing the existence of others in general, the population in each village will be happy to carry out activities in each of their diverse fields, including the farmers who are happy to go to the fields, office employees or civil servants, and so on and on, with the spirit of carrying out duties and responsibilities well for the harmony of all. So that macro-economy and technology will continue to develop positively, and human resources can still be relied upon for world development. If these aspects develop well, then the creation of harmonious relationships with our fellow human beings, and also with the universe, is possible."

This sterling silver bracelet features faceted blue topaz and citrine stones in a dazzling design symbolizing peace.

The moon, a symbol of magic and spirituality, inspires Balinese artisan Made Wardika to create an enchanting design full of mysticism. As an expert in ancient jewellery art, Made uses cow bone to craft the centreed pendant. Then, he sets natural peridot and garnet gems in the design, finishing everything with a sterling silver structure in a polished finish.
