Unique Tibetan Jewelry (2006-11-13) Publisher: Webmaster
Tibetan Jewelry has traditionally been an important part of Tibetan daily
dress. It is believed, jewels put people in touch with deities, and protect them
from the many hazards of life in their rugged and treacherous land.
Tibetan jewelry is often oversized and heavy, with elaborate surface design
and an exuberance of color. The value of jewelry was historically determined by
the intensity of color and size of the components, rather than the value in gems
or precious metals. Tibetan Jewelry includes Tibetan necklace, Tibetan
bracelets, Tibetan pendant & amulet, Tibetan rings & earrings.
Tibetans are known for the splendor of their personal adornment, and the
glorious beads of the Nomadic people of the region are often referred to as
"portable banks". Tibetan jewelry are usually made of silver, copper and gold,
various of precious gemstones, such as turquoise, lapis lazuli, agate, Coral,
malachite, Garnet, Beeswax, DZI, Amber, Opal, Colored glaze & Gemstones,
amethyst, Crystal, Jade and so on. |
