18K Gold Phurba with Sapphire Pendant

This 18K gold Vajrakilaya p'hurba pendant is expertly crafted by Jörg Cantieni, a master jeweler and close student of H.E. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche.  These p'hurba pendants were originally created by Jörg as an expression of his gratitude to Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, and the Sky Treasury of practice that Rinpoche bestowed upon him. Jorg then created these p'hurba pendants set with sapphires from Burma.   18K gold & sapphires Measurements: 1.57 x 0.2 x 0.28 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.
