Sacred Jewellery

We have a wide range of Tibetan jewellery that include Tibetan gaus and other sacred pendants.

A gau is a unique type of amulet in which Tibetans keep small sacred items. Often these will be pieces of blessed medicine; thread or fabric blessed by a revered lama; sacred texts or mantras, pills made by high lamas (black hat pills, made only by the Karmapa, carry a very strong and powerful blessing); small pictures of deities and other precious items. It is traditional to ask a Lama to bless and fill your gau with sacred items. This is then said to have great power to protect the wearer from all manner of obstacles.

All the gaus in our collection are made by hand in Nepal by Tibetan and Nepalese artisans. Each is capable of being opened and filled with precious items.

The Golden Wheel of Manjushri (Jamyang Serkhor)

Making and wearing of astrological amulets to protect one's self has been, since ancient times, an honoured tradition in Tibet. The amulets are believed to heal, protect and harmonise energies.

The 'Jamyang Serkhor', The Golden Wheel of Manjushri, is the general protective and harmonising amulet of Lord Manjushri, who embodies all wisdom of the Buddha, with a flaming sword in his right hand which is symbolic of eliminating the ignorance of all sentient beings.

Inside the amulet is a parchment printed from an ancient wooden block inscribed with the emblems and mantras in the form of the cosmic turtle. It contains a 'Chagne', blessed by Nechung, the protective deity and one of the two state oracles of Tibet who guides the destiny and many decisions of the Tibetan government and its people. It also has a sacred pill with the blessing of a very holy Lama.

The amulet is then woven within threads of the five elemental colours in a particular sequence symbolising the binding of the five elements into the golden element of earth. It is finally wrapped in a golden brocade and knotted with Tibetan blessed cord made from silk. While making the amulet, utmost care has been taken with a great reliance and emphasis on the traditional empowering forms and rituals, classical texts, theories and the astrologer's personal experiences.

How to Use Your Amulet:

-Wear it or keep with personal belongings
-Put under your pillow while asleep
-Hang on the entrance to your house or room
-Use in your car or carry along on journeys.

Amulet should never be removed from its gold
covering.
