Jewellery

Tibetan jewellery brings together craft and meaning. Besides metal and stone, many pieces carry a symbol, a mantra or an intention. The main materials are copper, brass and white metal, cast, hammered, braided and engraved. Alongside them come stone beads, rudraksha seeds, wood and Dzi beads with their characteristic eyes, which the Tibetan tradition regards as bringers of good fortune.

The Om symbol, the endless knot, the Eight Auspicious Symbols or the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum turn a bracelet or a ring into a quiet reminder that you carry with you all day. Amulets play a special role: small containers that traditionally hold a mantra or prayer, along with pendants showing the Buddha, Tara or Guru Rinpoche. Bracelets of rudraksha or stone beads are modelled on prayer beads and accompany you through the day as a wrist mala.

The copper and brass bangles, the braided lucky cords, the rings, pendants and amulets are handcrafted by Tibetan artisans in the Himalayas, so no two are exactly alike. Over time copper and brass develop a patina, and a piece worn for years becomes a personal companion. We choose every piece of jewellery personally and are happy to advise you, whether it is for yourself or a gift.
