Goldsmiths in Bali
are masters of the granulation technique. Small gold grains are delicately soldered to the ring surface to create intricate designs. A gold strip is additionally folded over the primary stone, holding the stone and forming a collar around it. This lot is a remarkable example of the southern Balinese style, with the birds' beaks serving as prongs to hold the ruby stone, a concept known from the Majapahit empire that flourished in the 14th century.
