The artist did a wonderful job creating this lovely ring. It is even more beautiful in person than in the photo. It is a substantial yet delicate piece of jewelry and I love it.
This ring is so much better in person. The detail work on the flowers and scrolling is incredible, I get so many compliments when I wear it. I just love it.
"Lovely ring; amethyst stone too transparent though"
This is a lovely ring but the amethyst stone is too transparent. It looks like a piece of light purplish glass. The details on the ring itself is very nicely crafted. I wish the stone was a bit darker in color.
I ordered this beautiful ring for my sister's 50th Birthday. Amethyst is her birthstone too. She lives out of state but she sent me pictures when she got it. Not only was the ring as beautiful as described, it was presented wonderfully in a cloth bag with note cards from the artist. Giving the impression that is was handcrafted just for her.
I just received the ring Frangipani Allure. It was a gift for my daughter and she absolutely loves it! The amethyst is big and the color is beautiful! Very feminine. You will not be disappointed with this piece. It's gorgeous! I will definitely be ordering from this artist again!
Sent this gift directly to my Mother and she says it's beautiful and she loves it! She says that the stone is a deep purple and shines brilliantly. Thank you Buana for your amazing artistry!
I was a little hesitant when i ordered this ring, thinking the stone would be too big. It is NOT too big. I love it, it's so beautiful and looks just like the photo. The stone is gorgeous. Thank you~!!!
"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.
