Multi-gemstone Silver Cuff Bracelet from Bali, "Frog Song"
A silver frog purses his lips, as if about to break into his twilight song. He cradles a 3-carat faceted amethyst as he sits upon his lily pad. Blue topaz, rainbow moonstone and peridot gems cluster at each side like water droplets on sterling leaves. The fascinating cuff bracelet for women is presented by Balinese artisan Buana.
.925 Sterling silver
"When I began to work with Novica I started with nothing, I could barely support my family. Today I have a growing workshop, and a number of silversmiths work with me."
Buana is a master silversmith. He designs and crafts his jewelry collection using a combination of traditional and modern jewelry making techniques. Buana and his silversmiths share their knowledge and train younger artisans that join the workshop.
Buana has received 14 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $2400 and the most recent for $7000. Proceeds were used to invest in a purchase of natural gemstones and silver for his jewelry.
When Buana first began to work, he was fearful that he would be unable to care for his first child. Now he proudly cares for two.
Buana provides for the education of his two children.






























"Ornate Beauty from Bali"
This silver cuff is an incredible prize! The details are exquisite - down to the tiny bubbles surrounding the lily pad on which the charming frog rests. The amethyst, peridots, and blue topaz are delicately arranged for a gentle spring color mix. I waited four months for this bracelet to be offered again. I?m sure it will sell out shortly when others take a moment to look closely at this captivating and substantial design. It has a playfulness that makes it a truly original statement piece that I enjoy wearing.
