This pendant is a 925 solid sterling silver Filigree/Lattice Elephant pendant, featuring a faceted/cut amethyst gemstone. This piece of jewelry is hand-crafted by Balinese (Indonesian) artisans, reflecting a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The elephant shape is stylized with filigree work, characterized by delicate silver wires artfully twisted and curled to form intricate patterns resembling lace. These patterns are symmetrically arranged to fill the silhouette of the elephant, with a balance of both openwork and solid areas, creating a play of light and shadow that enhances the visual texture of the piece.

The body of the elephant is the main canvas for the filigree design, consisting of scrollwork and swirls that give an elegant and ornamental look. The heart-shaped ears and the curved trunk, which cleverly doubles as the pendant's bail, are prominent features of the design. The trunk curls back upon itself in a traditional gesture symbolizing good luck.

At the center of the elephant's body is a striking, faceted amethyst gemstone. This gemstone is skillfully cut to catch the light, emphasizing its deep purple hue, which adds a touch of color and luxury to the pendant. The amethyst is securely held in place by silver prongs that blend seamlessly with the overall design.

The craftsmanship reflects Balinese jewelry-making traditions, where each piece is not just an accessory but a work of art. The techniques used suggest that the artisans are preserving a cultural heritage that involves meticulous handiwork and a deep understanding of the materials used.

Overall, the pendant is a harmonious combination of traditional Balinese artistry, symbolic imagery, and the natural beauty of gemstones, resulting in a unique and meaningful piece of jewelry.
