artistic necklace

Komang Agus Saputra celebrates Indonesian spiritual artistry by designing a lotus medallion for this wrap necklace. Carved by hand from coconut shell, the pendant is centered by a lotus, symbol of purity and holiness according to Buddhist and Hindu faiths. The necklace includes a faux-suede cord that can be adjusted to the desired length and is adorned with chang wood beads.

A floral realm full of beauty and magic lives inside Costa Rican artisans Lorena and Marcela's newest jewellery set. Made with waxed polyester cords handwoven with macrame techniques, the set includes a necklace and bracelet in matching black hues, both with adjustable lengths. The pendants that decorate each piece showcase an artistic resin work that coats a spring scene where a morpho butterfly flies around leaves and flowers, symbolizing hope.

Coffee plants have been a relevant element in Central America's history, being one of the main exported products of developing economies. But they also symbolize intellect and creativity, inspiring many artists, like Nicaragua's Manuel Fredebrecht. Working in sterling silver, he handcrafts this pendant necklace with a little coffee branch as the centrepiece.

The joyous Balinese spring shows its ethereal beauty in this pendant necklace by Made Wardika of Bali. The artisan showcases exquisite artistry and long expertise in each detail that composes this sublime piece, inspired by the region's nature. Accented with a rose-shaped bone accent—hand-carved by Made—the piece also boasts natural peridot stones, whose green light attracts good fortune and harmony.

The beautiful Bawang closes her eyes in meditation as her song of hope reaches the heavens and brings her riches. One of many of Bali's legendary characters, hers is a story of moral underpinnings as her destiny surprises her. Wayan Rendah hand-carves her visage from hibiscus wood to capture Bawang's ethereal origin with the wood's bicolor grain. Eloquently detailed, the mask features a bird pecking treasures on Bawang's head. A most vivid piece accompanied by mysticism to complement a personal collection.

A humble Bawang was envied by her sister Kesuna, who though rich, was full of lust and banished Bawang to the forest. Scared, Bawang began to pray for protection, her prayer akin to a bird's trill. Soon birds began to peck on her arms and neck leaving behind gold bracelets and necklaces. When Kesuna saw her sister's fate, she ran into the forest to seek protection, however instead of jewelry, she met only snakes and scorpions.

Hibiscus wood exhibits colors ranging from white to light gray, dark gray or even black heartwood. This natural occurrence can rarely be replicated, making each carving exceptionally unique. Please expect slight differences in wood grain color and distribution patterns. Theme and artistic quality remain the same.
