Everything in Bali has a deeply spiritual element. Subak is a system of rice terraces and water temples that dates back to the 9th century and covers 19,500 hectares. There, the irrigation system is a Manifestation of the Tri Hita Karana Philosophy which brings together the realms of the spirit, the human world, and nature.
Water temple rituals promote a harmonious relationship between people and their environment. Rice is seen as the gift of god, and the subak system is part of temple culture. Rice, the water required to grow rice, and the subak have together shaped the landscape over the past thousand years. Today, the subak system is one of the 8 Unesco sites in Indonesia.
We named this bracelet "Subak" to honor our ancient Balinese tradition that always respects the deep spiritual essence of life. The green agate gemstones and orange wood beads celebrate the colors you see everywhere in the subak terraces.
