Antique Tibetan Coral Heirloom Necklace

• A true antique, extremely rare, one-of-a-kind Coral necklace from Tibet purchased directly by the DharmaShop team from a Nepalese collector we've traded and worked with for over 20 years.
• Made of 74 hand-picked antique chunks of coral that were meticulously arranged from smallest to largest, creating an organic and balancing design. Each piece of antique coral is inlaid with true turquoise for healing energy.
• Aside from being increasingly rare and a valuable collectible, Coral is a stone of protection, good luck, wisdom, and understanding. In ancient Eyput,Coral was used to protect aginst evil spirits, and in the Roman Empire was gifted to children to protect from harm.

This past winter, Sander, founder and owner of DharmaShop, met with a Nepalese trader and collector friend he has known for nearly 20 years. He was in the states visiting and brought a few strands of incredible antique coral in his luggage. Once we saw it, we just fell in love with the story it's details and characteristics tell. Each chunk of coral has it's own markings and shape.

This is an heirloom belonging to the traditions and regions of Tibet, Nepal, and the Himalayas. The Himalayas have a long history of trading Coral with the Indian Ocean region. This Coral was then used to make decorative items and jewelry which was then passed down through generations.
