thin chains for necklaces

Shiva is the Hindu god of destruction, believed to be responsible for causing the end of times so that a new world can be reborn. He is depicted here in the pendant of this necklace, his head hand-carved from bone with a snake wrapped around his neck, demonstrating his control over all things deadly. Crafted by Indonesian artisan Komang Suastra, it hangs from a sterling silver Naga chain.

A sleek garnet cabochon graces this delightful necklace by Alon Diller. He works in fine Taxco silver to create the original design. "This is an abstract form of depicting the wings of a fairy to remind us there are many magical things that are hidden to the eyes of an adult," he says.
