Handcrafted Turquoise And Coral Jewelry

Tibetan jewelry is not just ornamental, it often embodies a spiritual dynamic and can be extremely symbolic in nature. Certain pieces are worn on an everyday basis, whereas others are kept reserved for special occasions. There are often mantras and yantras engraved on to Tibetan jewelry, the most common being Om Mani Padme Hum. As the number of people interested in and following Buddhism in the West has grown, so has the popularity of related pendants, bracelets, and necklaces. The designs are original, beautiful, and a world away from the mass produced items that are common today. They typically feature vibrant colors but remain simplistic and stylish. Salmon colored coral and deep turquoise are the most common gemstones used in Tibetan designs, and this has been the norm for hundreds, if not thousands of years. As a general rule, necklaces and headbands made by Tibetan artisans tend to be larger in size than those designs made in other countries. Due to the ongoing political problems that exist within Tibet, most Tibetan jewelry now comes from Kathmandu, Nepal's capital and the home of many displaced Tibetans. In fact, traditional jewelry makers have been here for many generations, with skills and knowledge handed down from father to son. Tibetans have been renowned silversmiths for many centuries, evidence of which exists in the form of documents uncovered in China that date back to the sixth century. The metal and stones used in most of the designs are sourced from the Himalayan region. Coral and turquoise deposits are widespread throughout this mountain chain, as are seams of gold and silver. Lapis lazuli is also used, and is usually imported from Afghanistan along ancient trading routes. Yak bone is another material that sometimes features in the designs. Although the designs may not have the polished veneer that many people in the West expect, the rustic and unfinished appearance adds to the charm. Most pieces are handmade using only a hammer and chisel. The technique is very different from that which has become common in the rest of the world. If planning to buy Tibetan wholesale jewelry, care needs to be taken to ensure that what you purchase is an authentic design. There are many cheap imitations now coming out of China and flooding the market. Whenever possible find out the source of the pieces, and keep in mind that authentic items will have a higher price tag then budget copies.
