"Flames reveal a smiling skull in the dramatic design of this ring by Putu Gede Darmawan. Crafted with sterling silver, it is finished by hand with detailed artistry.
"Designing has been my passion ever since I was a child and, though I'm from a young generation of artists, I love to create something based on traditional styles and combine it with a modern look. That's how I came to decide on designing sterling silver jewelry for men, as well as for women.
"There are many people in my neighborhood who were unable to finish their studies due to financial difficulties. Some of them have had to resort to begging on the streets. I've come to realize the importance of having a skill so that you may have more opportunities in life, so I've made a point of offering free training in silversmith techniques. My hope is that by doing so, people in need will eventually be able to earn a living and support their families.

I bought an Earth Serpent bracelet some years ago and I absolutely loved it. Sadly I lost it on a vacation trip. I was so sad for the loss that I just had to buy a new one. The new bracelet arrived today and is as lovely as the first one. Thank you:)
I bought this ring for my husband, and he LOVED it! The quality: FANTASTIC! The detail: FABULOUS! The speed of delivery: AMAZING! Buy this and become an instant hero!
Just cannot wait to give this beautiful bracelet to my niece. I know she will love it. The quality and elegance of the bracelet is better than the picture. Thank you for your creation!
This is a stunning piece for anyone (of any gender) who loves dragons or who could benefit from the energy of a dragon. I am a woman and found this pendant very appealing, so I bought it for myself. The pendant's narrow rectangular shape combines with the coiling border to provide an elegant frame for the dragon, which is 3-D and so detailed that you can almost see it moving sinuously.

She has been wearing it constantly since I have it to her on Halloween. Beautifully crafted and easy for her to put on and take off, this was a perfect bracelet for her.
I am of Celtic and Viking heritage where women were often more fierce warriors than men. I wear it and it’s beautiful. Gorgeous craftsmanship. I Love it. Sizing runs just a little small though.
This bracelet is made very well. I bought it because it reminded me of my mothers snake bracelet in the 1960's that i used to like to play with. I bought it because it is nostalgic for me and I'm very pleased with the quality.
This is a beautiful bracelet with so much detail that makes it look very real. I have small wrists, and I like that it can be pressed if needed to adjust the size. The mechanism that allows it to open is a wonderful addition which makes it easy to take off. I wish the artist offered a necklace that will make a set with this bracelet. It is a beautiful piece of art.
He absolutely loves this ring. We bought the wrong size by mistake, my mistake, but I had it sized by our local jeweler and he wears it all of the time now.
I've been looking for a snake bracelet for awhile. This is, by the far, the best one I've found. It fits close to the wrist and stacks well with other bracelets. The design is ingenious. The mid-section is actually a hinge that allows the bracelet to open enough to slip on. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are exquisite.
I really love the dragon pendant it's really made with a great detail and quality. I can't wait to give it to my nephew!! P.S. I love your vision and philosophy behind your artistry.
This is a stunning piece for anyone (of any gender) who loves dragons or who could benefit from the energy of a dragon. I am a woman and found this pendant very appealing, so I bought it for myself. The pendant's narrow rectangular shape combines with the coiling border to provide an elegant frame for the dragon, which is 3-D and so detailed that you can almost see it moving sinuously. If you wanted to, you could treat the pendant as reversible, because the rear side also has the elegant coiling border, and a design of circles and dots.
