What can you give from CHF 100 from the Tibetan tradition?
From CHF 100 upwards begins the range of pieces that stay with you for a lifetime. Objects that are not only beautiful but have a presence. That change a room, deepen a practice or complete an altar. Choosing a gift from CHF 100 is a considered decision in favour of craft, quality and meaning. For someone you want to give something that really lasts.
Singing bowls in this price range are made with a care you can hear. Larger bowls with a deeper, carrying tone. Specially made lingam bowls or engraved bowls with mantras. Antique bowls that already carry a history. A singing bowl from CHF 100 is not only an instrument for meditation. It is something to pass on.
Thangkas become accessible in this price range and make a remarkable gift. A hand-painted thangka represents months of work by a Tibetan artist and holds real cultural and spiritual value. Hung on the wall, it changes the atmosphere of a room for good.
Statues in larger formats and with finer finishing carry a presence in this price range that smaller pieces do not have. A Buddha or Tara statue of 20 to 30 centimetres in height, hand-cast in bronze and gilded, becomes a centre for any altar and any living room.
Silver jewellery with gemstones, ghau pendants with detailed engraving or Tibetan silver necklaces with genuine turquoise and coral are pieces that are worn daily and become more personal over time.
Gift sets from CHF 100 offer another possibility. A singing bowl with matching incense and a mala, packed with care in a Tibetan gift box, makes a complete and considered gift that speaks to all the senses.
