Tibetan jewelry

July,28 2016 BY Master Catherine Jigme 0 COMMENTS

Tibet is a place rich in jewelry and Tibetan jewelry has always been extremely important for the Tibetan people. When you are travelling in Tibet, you may find all kinds of ornaments on a Tibetan, Tibetan bracelet, Tibetan becklace, Tibetan pendant, Tibetan earrings, Tibetan rings, Tibetan mask, Mala beads, etc.

In Tibet, most of the people are Buddhist believers who love peace and have a simple life style. Their easy-going character is also embodied in Tibetan jewelry, which keeps the forms of the original material. Each pattern or color of the jewelry carries a special meaning, such as double fish standing for love, ritual vessels for safety, the Six-Syllable Prayer for happiness, etc.

As the pride of Tibetan people, Tibetan jewelry is both primitive and splendid. Now many modern and fashionable elements are integrated into the design of Tibet jewelry as well.

Tibetan families always pass down precious jewelry from their ancestors, which is also an inheritance of the family's culture.

When it comes to self-adornment, silver is king. Tibetan people believe that wearing silver protects them from bad spirits and can even help in cure disease.
