Item Description
Tibetans often wear prayer ghaus as portable shrines, filling the enclosed cavity with sacred objects such as tiny handwritten mantras and small amounts of precious relics. In Tibetan Buddhism there is also a belief that the wearing or displaying of sacred symbols is an invitation to greater awareness.
This ghau, oval in shape, is accented with pieces of deep green Tibetan turquoise inlay with a red coral gemstone at the center. Coral and turquoise have long been the favorite of Tibetan artisans and are seen in a wide variety of Tibetan jewelry.
Himalayan Traders is based on the principles of small being beautiful and right livelihood being essential. Himalayan Traders' sacred jewelry is created by individual artisans and craftspeople living in Nepal and managing their own small family businesses. In many cases the jewelry-making has been a family tradition for generations.
