Carried Close
A pendant rests against the chest, over a shirt or under it, where you feel it through the day. Every design here carries a meaning from tradition: a Buddha for calm, a dragon for strength, jade for protection.

A prayer wheel does not count what you say. It counts what is inside it.
The mechanic is specific and slightly startling the first time somebody explains it. A wheel is packed with the mantra written out thousands of times on a tight roll of paper, and one turn is held to be worth every copy sealed in there. So the merit does not come from your effort. It comes from the volume of text you are carrying.
Which is why monasteries line whole walls with them and why people walking past give each one a push without breaking stride.
The barrel here is the wearable form of that shape, with om mani padme hum running around the outside in Tibetan script. Six syllables, the most repeated words in Tibetan Buddhism.
For anyone with a practice that keeps losing to the rest of the day. The whole appeal of this object is that it does not require you to remember anything.
Gold tone against a fine chain, short enough to sit at the collarbone.
Details
- Material: Gold-tone plated base metal
- Inscription: Om mani padme hum in Tibetan script
- Chain: 45cm
- Note: Plated finish, avoid abrasion
Wearing & Care
It hangs vertically and swings freely, so the script faces different ways as you move. Plated finishes wear where they rub, so keep it off abrasive surfaces and clean it with a dry cloth.
A good first Tibetan piece, because it carries the words and asks nothing of you beyond putting it on.

Frequently asked questions
How long is it, and where will it sit?
Every necklace lists its chain or cord length in the Specifications. As a guide, 45 cm sits on the collarbone and 60 cm on the upper chest. The Length Guide above the Add to cart button shows both.
Is the stone real?
When the Specifications say natural jadeite, jade, agate, chalcedony or obsidian, that is what it is. The exact material of every piece is named there, including the metal and any plating.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Close, but not identical. Natural stone differs in colour and marking from piece to piece, and hand carving varies a little too.
Can I wear it every day?
Yes. Stainless steel can be worn in water. Jade and other stone can stay on through the day, but take it off before sport or anything involving impact. Keep enamel and plated pieces away from water, perfume and abrasion.
What if I do not like it?
Send it back within 30 days of delivery.
