Tibetan jewelry
Tibetan jewelry Omyoki
Our Tibetan jewelry does not come from Tibet but rather is made by Tibetans living in Tibetan communities in North India and Nepal, or by Nepalese Buddhists. They are entirely handmade, in natural materials ranging from silver to semi-precious stones, and plant seeds and wooden beads. These jewels are linked to Buddhism, Zen, and are vectors of appeasement, source of tranquility and sometimes serve as a support for meditation.

The soul of Tibetan jewelry
Jewelry has never been worn by Tibetans just to embellish themselves. Indeed, Tibetan jewelry is linked to Buddhism, or serves as amulets. Today the best known in the West are the necklaces and mala bracelets, a sort of Tibetan rosary that the monks string out by reciting their 100 prayers (108 beads: 100 prayers and 8 omissions). These malas are now available in necklaces, multi-wrap bracelets or thin bracelets.
