Thank you for your comment Jay.

This keris although it was made by an East Javanese kerismaker but stylistically it is Balinese. The flashy jewellery is part of the culture, it’s not personal preference.

Hence my saying "for what it's worth" I am very ignorant about the culture as of yet, I have only started my journey to learn about it very recently. Thanks for pointing that out! See my point of view as that of an outsider who doesn't know much about the heritage bit yet... From that point of view I think it's a pretty blade I especially like the tiny keris-on-the-keris detail.
