Known as the "wisdom stone," amethyst is dazzling in the design of this ring. The faceted gem centers swirling patterns underscored by a dark oxidized background. Crafted of sterling silver, this magnificent ring is the creation of Buana, in Bali.
I LOVE sterling silver jewelry, and I have a fairly big collection. I purchased this ring around the holiday season of last year, and it was more beautiful than I imagined. The pictures are nice, but the ring is truly beautiful. Fine craftsmanship, and top quality silver... it's a ring that I wear the most frequent.
This ring is much more then I had expected. The stone is beautiful and the carving and weight of the ring is quite substantial. It's a very comfortable ring especially because it is a bit wider then most but fits comfortably.
I love this ring it is beautiful. I have bought several rings from this area and most of them have been running small. So, I ordered a size up, it's a bit big, so, don't size up on this ring it is perfect regular fit. Love it! It looks so much better in person than it does in the picture!
This ring just arrived today, and I already love it. It's much more beautiful than the picture shows. I usually take a size 10 in rings, but this is a little snug. If I had to do it again, I'd go with an 11. In spite of that, it's a real keeper. Anxious to wear it when I go out this weekend.
I love this ring and have received compliments on it by many. I wish the stone was a little deeper in color, but it's still quite pretty. The size 9 fit perfectly on my 'smaller' hand.
Hello, I received my ring 3 days ago, and like it very much. Has a classy look, and can be worn at any time. Thank you, L. Urso A little snug for size 8, but fits O.K.
I bought the amethyst ring last year and since then I've worn it almost every day, it's my staple piece and I love it. I remembered first looking at it and thinking how on earth was it so cheap, it was brilliant, my amethyst wasn't a deep purple but a beautiful violet color which makes it so much more special and unique to me
This is a beautiful ring. I am wearing it all the time now. I bought it as a pinky ring and was worried it might be too wide. It isn't; it is just perfect.
This is a beautiful Man's ring and it will be cherished and passed along for generations to come. I bought this for my fiance and he loves it. Thank you so much. It is made of fine quality work.
This ring is stunning, heavy, well detailed with a lovely stone. I found, however, that the sizing is off. I ordered two rings from Novica one an 8 and this one in a 9 - they are the exact same size so unfortunately this is too tight :( .
I don't think I can really do this piece justice in words, but I will try. First the ring is true to size, and it fits perfectly, it almost feels like it was custom made for me haha. The stone is beautiful, the design is intricate and lovely, and the metal is very nicely polished. I am honestly surprised that it wasn't more expensive. I love this piece so much and whoever designed/crafted this has a great eye. Amazing!!!
"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."
I love Novica and Buana exemplifies the ideal Novica artist. His style, attention to detail, imagination and artistry are both exotic and appealing. I haven't acquired a singe item from him that I don't love and I plan to continue augmenting my wife's collection with his items for years to come.

Unique pendant. Smaller than I thought. I wish the face had been clamped instead of glued to base. Chain is sturdy and a good length. Amethyst is very small. Difficult to see.
Buana has a wonderful talent for working with bone. The faces he creates are so expressive and are combined with all the other elements beautifully. I love my 'Sleepy Moon' necklace.
