black lava stone

By Ayu Ary, this handsome bracelet combines sleek bone beads with globes of natural black lava stone. The Balinese artisan inscribes the beads with the message "Unity." Strung on a cotton cord, the bracelet's macramé sliding clasp makes the length adjustable.

Barong is one of the most beloved characters in Bali's colorful culture, often depicted in folkloric dance. Ketut Sulastri depicts him in sterling silver to center this unity bracelet. Lava stone beads flank the pendant on a handmade macrame cord. "In Bali, we see Barong as a protector against the forces of evil and sickness," she confides.

The rugged textures of natural lava stone are juxtaposed with sleek bone beads inscribed with chakra motifs. With this unity bracelet, Ayu Ary responds to the world's differences with a beautiful piece of jewelry. Strung on a cotton cord, the bracelet's sliding knot clasp makes the length adjustable.
