NOVICA Men's Amethyst and Sterling Silver Hand Carved Bone Pendant Necklace 'Brave Eagle', 17.75"
This is a beautiful piece of art. The way the artist carved
the bone into a strong looking eagle is fascinating. The detail of the eyes and
the sterling silver that holds the pendant with the amethyst stone is amazing.
It comes with a leather cord necklace that gives an authentic ethnic look.
Perfect accessory for a man. For me, it feels like it symbolizes
strength and freedom. This is absolutely a must for a man with an adventurous
side. Perfect for a gift.
This item is fair trade and each purchase will help to keep tradition on craftmaship.
Note: I received this product at a discount for an un-biased
opinion.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Buana
"I am thankful to God for giving me such a great gift so I
can make a living for my family. Not much, perhaps, but enough for our simple
way of life."
Like most people who were born and live in Gianyar Regency,
Buana has been surrounded by handicrafts since he was a child. Gianyar is
a part of Bali known throughout the world for its beautiful landscapes and
exceptional artistic legacy. Handicrafts like shadow puppets made of cowhide,
woodcarving and silver jewelry are created there in towns like Tegalalang,
Ubud, Sukawati and Celuk.
In 1990, Buana decided to learn to craft silver jewelry from a friend in Celuk. He learned it all, from the very basic skills like sanding, polishing and making plates to very advanced techniques. Supported by his family, Buana has continued his profession as a silversmith. "I am thankful to God for giving me such a great gift so I can make a living for my family. Not much, perhaps, but enough for our simple way of life," he says. "Hopefully through Novica I can offer a better future to my wife and two children."
