Conch shell pearls are pearls carved from the shell of the queen conch (Strombus gigas). They are characterized by their pink to creamy white tones and their fine, often marbled structure. They have been used for centuries in jewelry and religious art, especially in Buddhist and Hindu traditions. Their symbolic meaning ranges from protection and purity to a connection with the ocean and divine wisdom.

The infinite knot, one of the eight lucky symbols of Tibetan Buddhism, consists of an endless line without beginning or end. It symbolizes eternity, connectedness and the principle of karma. In Tibetan art, it adorns thangkas, ritual objects and temples, often as a sign of protection and wisdom. Even today, it is valued as a symbol of harmony, spiritual growth and constancy.
