Necklace turquoise with old coral
Luminous turquoise necklace with a central old coral bead - handmade in Atelier Tibet in Zurich.
The spherical 6 mm diameter turquoise beads shine in a vibrant sky blue with fine natural veins - clear, fresh and unmistakable. A cylindrical old coral bead in warm terracotta red sits as the resting centerpiece, flanked by two smaller coral discs and silver rondel beads. The lobster clasp is made of silver.
Turquoise has been considered one of the most important protective stones in Tibetan Buddhism for centuries - it is said to protect against negative energy, attract good luck and strengthen the connection to the spiritual world.
Coral has a deep spiritual and cultural significance in traditional Tibetan jewelry. The red precious coral (Corallium rubrum) is particularly prized. As Tibet is a landlocked highland, coral has been imported from the Mediterranean and the South East Asian region via centuries-old trade routes. Nowadays, precious coral is strictly protected, which is why modern Tibetan jewelry such as this is made with old, recycled coral.

Brief instructions for measuring ring size:
- Take a ring that fits well.
- Place it on a ruler and measure the inside diameter (from one inner edge to the other).
- Compare the diameter with the table to determine the ring size.
- Take a thin strip of paper or thread.
- Wrap it around the part of the finger where you want the ring to sit (not too tight).
- Mark the point where the ends meet.
- Measure the length of the strip in millimeters. This is the inner circumference.
- Find the right size in the table.
- Measure the finger size in the evening, as fingers swell slightly during the day.
- If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size.
- Make sure that the ring fits over the knuckle.
