Lava necklace with silver pendant "Kartika" + "Phurpa" + "Vajra"

Necklace with lava beads (⌀ 8 mm) and a finely crafted silver pendant that combines three of the central Buddhist symbols and a silver spring clasp.

The "kartika" is a special chopping knife with symbolic significance that is used in Buddhist rituals to symbolically cut up and drive away demons.
The "phurpa", also known as the demon dagger, is used in Tibetan Buddhism as a ritual instrument to defeat and conquer negative influences.
The "vajra" or "dorje", similar to a sceptre, is one of the essential cult objects of Buddhism and represents the unshakeable power of enlightenment.

Hand-knotted in the Atelier Tibet in Zurich.
