This handmade creation is offered in partnership with NOVICA, in association with National Geographic.
Sleek silver arches come together in an allusion to a dragon's belly, or basang naga. In Bali, the dragon is believed to be God's guardian. Yuniati fashions this handsome cuff bracelet as a protective amulet.

Story Behind the Art:
My designs are inspired by the shape of plants and animals, and most especially, by Balinese art and culture.
Yuniati is a Balinese woman who married a silversmith from Celuk, which is known for its legacy of gold and silver jewelry. "Little by little I learnt how to make silver jewelry from my husband," recalls Yuniati. The first things I learned how to design were necklaces and bracelets. Unbelievably to me, some foreign customers loved them! This encouraged me to keep on developing more designs with support from my husband and some the silversmiths we knew.
My designs are inspired by the shape of plants and animals, and most especially, by Balinese art and culture.
I was interested in joining Novica right from the first time I heard about their mission of helping artists and artisans promote and sell their items worldwide through internet. I hope I can grow with Novica.
