Turquoise mala bracelet with coral

Fine mala bracelet with turquoise beads with a diameter of approx. 3 mm and a piece of coral. It is available in three sizes and is handmade in the Atelier Tibet.

In Tibetan jewelry, turquoise is traditionally used as a symbol of protection, prosperity and health and is an important component of many spiritual and cultural amulets and pieces of jewelry.

In combination with turquoise and silver , coral beads are a characteristic element of Tibetan jewelry. As Tibet is a landlocked highland , coral has been imported from the Mediterranean and the Southeast Asian region via centuries-old trade routes. Nowadays, precious coral is strictly protected, which is why modern Tibetan jewelry is made with old, recycled coral or sustainable alternatives .
