These exquisite and unusual pieces of gemstone, OM, and Lotus jewelry are handcrafted in Bali using semi-precious stones set in sterling silver. Some include carved Tagua--that looks very much like ivory but definitely isn't! Tagua is actually an extremely hard nut material that lends itself well to intricate hand carving. It is sometimes called "plant ivory" or "renewable ivory" because of its rich subtle shading and soft glow.
