For Tibetans, Tibetan jewelry is used to symbolize their religious beliefs. Most styles of Tibetan jewelry have symbols such as the double dorje or dorje symbol, the eternity knot symbol, etc. Jewelry has always been important in Tibetan style. Many Tibetans believe that Tibetan jewelry and jewels protect them from evil, and bring them closer to the Buddhas. Some stones included in our Tibetan Jewelry section are coral, turquoise, and lapis lazuli. Coral is known to protect the wearer from the evil eye and it is one of the five sacred stones in Tibetan Buddhism. Coral was also thought to lighten in color if the wearer was exposed to illness or to poison. Turquoise symbolizes the sea and the sky. Turquoise rings are believed to help the wearer have a safe journey, and it is auspicious to dream about the color turquoise. Lapis Lazuli is the color of the Medicine Buddha. Lapis lazuli is said to cure all ailments of the wearer. Tibetan jewelry is actually made in Nepal.
