Jewelry with Soul Flying Owl Focal Bead handcarved from Buffalo Bone This is a handmade product from Ubud, Bali. This is a way to make your jewelry unique. After it is handcarved from bovine bone ( no animal is killed for this though, it is a by product only), then if colored, the bead is handpainted and signed on the back by the artist. She uses acrylic paints with a clear coating. Completely handmade to set off your other jewelry items. Not a factory made item. This has been made by cottage industry artists working in their own homes in the hills of Bali. Handcrafted jewelry never goes out of fashion but it's beauty increases with age!
