18K Gold Bam Seed Syllable Pendant

This 18K gold BAM seed syllable pendant was expertly crafted by our very own master jeweler, Jörg Cantieni, especially for Tibetan Treasures.  BAM is the seed syllable for many deities and dakinis, including Yeshe Tsogyal.  18K gold Measurements: approximately 1" diameter Chain is not included A message from Chagdud Khadro about Jörg Cantieni's Jewelry: Historically, the first jewelry was not ornaments but amulets for protection and spiritual power. Tibetan meditation master Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche usually wore an amulet box on his belt and another smaller one on a chain around his neck, and he admired the jewels of other lamas – diamonds that symbolized the brilliance of absolute nature, rubies and red corals that symbolized magnetizing power, turquoises that could be imbued with vital life force. Therefore, when Rinpoche met Swiss master jeweler, Jörg Cantieni, their collaboration began spontaneously and has continued, in a spiritual sense, even after Rinpoche’s Parinirvana in 2002.
