petite necklace

Balinese artisan Ketut Sulastri presents this beautiful minimalist lariat necklace design as part of his new product line. Suspended from waxed nylon cord, the main pendant features a banyan tree charm made from high polish sterling silver. The smaller pendant above brings color to the piece with purple amethyst, dyed green quartz, and natural cultured freshwater pearl. The cord's adjustable length allows the necklace to be worn many ways.

Dangling from a "bell" of sterling silver, multiple lengths of sterling rolo chain host petite swinging feathers. Balinese artisan Ari Gunawan designs this pendant necklace, which features a sterling medallion with an openwork tree motif. The pendant centers a sterling cable chain.

Silver tendrils outline leaves on a shining globe in this necklace from Sukartini. The petite pendant encloses a hidden brass ball that reverberates like a chime. A sterling chain completes the delightful design.

Also called "angel necklaces" and "harmony balls," Such necklaces are often worn by pregnant women in Bali and also in Mexico. Many wear it as an amulet. Others prefer a long chain that lets the pendant reach to the belly and the delicate sounds are thought to soothe the mother and the baby she is carrying. Some believe it summons a guardian angel, thus making it a symbol of loving protection.

Crafted from sterling silver, this Christmas tree pendant necklace from Bali's Nyoman Ariawan makes the perfect holiday accessory. The pendant dangles from the star on top and features petite red garnet baubles and floral charms. It centers a sterling naga chain.

Bali's Made Wardika hand carves a piece of pale bone into a tiger tooth to create this handsome pendant necklace. The artisan crafts a second, petite pendant in the shape of a leaf, which hangs beside the tiger tooth. Both pendants dangle from a sleek sterling silver naga chain that fastens with a hook clasp.
