Jewels from God's Island


The island of Bali is popular all over the world for its azure blue waters and the vast stretch of sandy beaches. However, this famed Island of the Gods also boasts of a varied landscape of hills and mountains, rugged coastlines and lush rice terraces and barren volcanic hillsides -- all providing a picturesque backdrop to its colourful, deeply spiritual and unique culture.




       But the island of Bali also produces some fantastic jewellery, especially in silver, making it truely a paradise on earth. 

      Bali jewels are handmade by silversmiths using exquisite carving techniques that are centuries old. Each piece of jewellery reflects the passion and the hardwork of the artisans.
And takes a place of pride in the owner's collection.

Flower Power


"When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other".
Yeah, we all have perhaps nodded our heads at this famous quote at some point of time. And for ages, flowers, with their vivid colours, forms and fragrance have uplifted our mind again and agin. That's why most people consider flowers to be the God’s greatest creation

And they are the most popular design aspect that we come across in our daily lives —be it in prints, paintings, jewellery, ceramics….  At this very moment, if you look around your house, I am sure you will find at least ten items with floral motifs. As I did…
