This unique snake scale-like patterned stone is a fossilized palate (pharyngeal) of ancient wrasse fish which found only in Madura island in Indonesia. The craftsmanship of lapidary artisan decides on the angle, depth and shape on the rough fossils to create and reach the interesting pattern. This exquisite stone and a black diamond is framed in solid 14k gold bezel, hand sewn and hand engraving details in silver which echoes the pattern in subtle, flowing way. The chain is oxidized. The word purba is inherited from an old Javanese word purbå meaning "ancient".
Approximate measurements at the widest 29 x 11.5 x 5.3 mm. The chain length is 46cm / 18 inches.
You will receive the exact same item as shown in the photos and it will come with a small wooden box.
The Prayer card necklace has such meticulous cut-outs, detailed as if it's paper art or lace yet it's actually silver. Mind-blowing!! And the open-back is such a thoughtful detail! It brings variations to its appearance as the clothing underneath it changes (right now my favourite is having it over my bare skin, if not counting the time when I simply hold it up in the air and let soft lighting comes through)
I'm so happy to have been able to purchase this stunning ring.
It is a piece of art and it reminds me of a perfect Haiku.
Such beauty captured so succinctly.
Thank you also for your beautiful packaging and thoughtful note. I will treasure this piece.
I look forward to returning to Japan in the not too distant future. In the meantime l'Il wear a reminder of its beauty on my hand.
Thank care and thank you !
I just received your beautiful Euphoria ring today.
Words cannot describe how much I LOVE this ring!!! It is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and design and I am so incredibly honored to have it!!
I've been a fan of your work for some time.
This ring was my favorite from the first minute I saw it. The beautiful flash of colors in the stone, the dramatic and delicate composition of the gold and silver ginkgo leaves, the accent rubies that complement the opal perfectly... It is honestly one of the most amazing pieces of jewelry I have ever seen. It just blows my mind!
Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with the world. The love and thought you put into each piece you make is what makes your work so spectacular...
Thank you again for this incredible gift! I will treasure it,
