Keris / Bali or Lombok

I am inclined to agree with Alan here. Too much bling ("gems") would certainly seem out of place to me. A simple silver uwer might be more appropriate, though does not really seem necessary for this piece. If you were to decide to place one on this keris i also don't think seeking out a much more expensive antique uwer makes any difference. What you certainly don't want is something that looks cheaply made as some of the new ones on the market do, but many new users are well crafted and look just fine.
