This Folk Art-Themed Amethyst and Garnet Dragonfly Cuff Bracelet 'Dragonfly Arcadia' by I Wayan Buana invites you into a realm of fantasy. Embossed dragonflies flutter around a traditional band, which is adorned with vine motifs and faceted garnet jewels.

The combination of polished and oxidized finishes highlights the intricate details, making this sterling silver cuff bracelet a masterful blend of Balinese culture and the island's natural beauty.
Born in Sukawati, Bali in 1974, I Wayan Buana grew up surrounded by the island’s rich artistic traditions. He discovered his passion for silver jewelry in childhood, learning the craft in the sixth grade under the guidance of the father of artisan Komang Wijayana. By his teenage years, Buana was already creating pieces independently, refining skills that would shape his life’s work. Overcoming early struggles and economic hardship, he persevered with faith and dedication, eventually building a workshop where he now leads a team of 18 artisans. Using simple tools and traditional methods, he transforms silver into intricate designs inspired by Balinese culture, ancestral motifs, and the island’s natural beauty. His creations, including favorites like the “Face of the Moon” ring, embody both personal expression and cultural preservation. Recognized as a best-selling artisan in Bali, Buana continues to craft jewelry that sustains his family and shares Balinese artistry with the world.
Handcrafted from 925 sterling silver with a combination finish. The bracelet is accented with amethyst and garnet, and measures 6 inches L (end to end) x 0.6 inches W. Color(s) may vary slightly.
