"Tibetan Copper Radiance · Yellow Jambhala Bracelet"
This bracelet is crafted with yak bone beads as its foundation, accented by traditional brass beads, and centered with a finely cast brass pendant of Yellow Jambhala. It embodies the profound understanding of wealth and wisdom held by artisans of the snowlands.
Yak Bone Beads
Sourced from the bones of yaks that have aged naturally, purified through prayer recitation and meticulously hand-polished, their texture is as warm and smooth as jade. In Tibetan culture, yak bone symbolizes "the resilience of life and a reminder of impermanence," conveying that wealth must be carried with a grounded heart and contemplated with the wisdom of transience.
The Brass Elements
Known in Tibetan culture as "red gold," copper is regarded as the crystallized lifeblood of the earth. The brass beads are hand-hammered, bearing a rustic luster, while the brass Jambhala statue is cast using the lost-wax method, with exquisite detail:
-
Yellow Jambhala (Tibetan "Jambhala") holds a treasure-emitting mongoose, symbolizing the source of wealth.
-
He stands upon a treasure vase and conch shell, signifying a stable foundation.
-
His ornate adornments are engraved with miniature Eight Auspicious Symbols, holding hidden blessings.
Energetic Philosophy
Bone belongs to the "earth" element, brass to the "metal" element, forming a generative "earth gives birth to metal" relationship in the Five Elements framework:
-
Yak bone represents the foundational earth, carrying the energetic soil for wealth to grow.
-
Brass symbolizes refined metal, representing the condensation and sublimation of wealth.
-
Yellow Jambhala acts as the energetic hub, transforming celestial and earthly blessings into worldly resources.
Deeper Meaning of Wearing
This is more than an accessory—it is a philosophy of wealth in motion.
When brass and bone beads gently chime against the wrist, it echoes like caravan bells resonating through snowy mountains.
As the Jambhala pendant turns with movement, it serves as a reminder:
True abundance begins with reverence for resources and is fulfilled through sharing with all beings.
Over time, the bracelet ages with its wearer: the brass deepens in hue, the bone grows richer in luster, becoming a unique life imprint. It is also a tangible Tibetan blessing: may wealth flow endlessly like the Yarlung Tsangpo River, and may wisdom stand unshakable like Mount Kailash.
