Pantheia

I just discovered Pantheia after my mom came home raving about it. She said I would love, love, love it, and I do.

Pantheia jewelry, clothing, bags and accessories are all hand crafted in Bali by local artisans. The detailing that is put into the pieces is exquisite, and the craftsmen have been working with the tools and materials for generations. Their traditional production methods help to support local communities in Bali.


The pieces are instilled with the ancient essence of Balinese culture, making their products unique and interesting.

The highest qualities in materials are used for the jewelry, clothing, bags and accessories, and the silver jewelry is tested to more than 925 purity. Impressive, I know….

And if you’re into gemstones, the gemstones they use are quality and origin certified.

Pantheia has signature Banana Leaf Boxes which are made from individual banana leaves that are dried, cleaned, and folded by hand. The boxes are created in a small village in Singaraja.
The bamboo they use is organically certified, and coffee wood products are sustainably harvested at Bali’s coffee plantations.


The collections are all so unique, and are different than anything I have ever seen before. Each piece is so diverse that it wouldn’t be hard to find something for everyone.

One of the things that I like most about the products is that you can wear them with something casual and it instantly dresses your outfit up, or you can wear them with something fancier, giving you a funky and stylish look.

My favourite piece from the 4 Seasons Collection is the "Fall (silver/resin)" ring.


It is made from sterling silver, Soursop leaf and amber-coloured resin.

The Kartika Collection is my favourite jewelry collection, and it really is hard to pick favourites. 


The "Back to the Roots earrings (brass)" are so unique and mesmerizing, and are made from brass cast from actual tree roots! They almost remind me of antlers, which I would love to have dangling from my ears.. I think I'll be adding these to my Christmas list.. 


This necklace is to die for. The "Bib Collar necklace (brass)" is a great piece to wear with anything your heart may desire!


These "Mohican earrings (silver)" are made of sterling silver, and you can choose from lapis lazuli stones, or turquoise (the colour shown in the picture above). The earrings are Algonquian-inspired, and I think they are very daring!

I interpreted the Savitar Collection to represent space. All the pieces are so fascinating and delicate. 


The "Lunar pendant" comes in brass and sterling silver, and is a tribute to Earth's only moon. The stones come in Turquoise, Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, Black Onyx, and Garnet (the colour shown in the picture above).


The "Lunar ring" also comes in brass and sterling silver, and  the stones also come in Turquoise, Malachite (the colour shown in the picture above), Lapis Lazuli, Black Onyx, and Garnet. The pendant and ring are a pretty cute match.

Pantheia's Vishnu Collection is very fab and trendy.


These "Spider Web earrings (silver)" are made of stainless steal, and are number two on my wish list! There is also a matching pendant. 


The "Coins Duet bracelet (gold-plated brass/rhodium-plated silver)" emulates Spanish doubloons and pieces of eight. It also comes in sterling silver/copper, and that bracelet evokes rare images of pennies and dimes. Both bracelets have a silver Pantheia charm on them. They are absolutely gorgeous!

If you’re not planning on flying to Bali anytime soon, you can order Pantheia online from their Manitoba location.
