Dragon and lotus silver upper arm cuff

Large and ornate silver upper arm cuff with elaborately forged dragon and lotus motifs. The cuff measures 27 mm at its widest point and can be adjusted to fit any upper arm.

Upper arm cuffs are worn above the elbow and have been part of jewelry culture in many regions for centuries. Traditionally worn on special occasions, they are now also used as a summer statement piece. We have upper arm cuffs with Tibetan symbols made in traditional craftsmanship from silver. Each piece is hand-forged and unique.

The dragon plays an important role in Tibetan art and jewelry design, especially as a protective symbol and power creature. Unlike in Western traditions, where dragons are often depicted as threatening, the Tibetan dragon is considered a bringer of good fortune, a guardian of cosmic order, and a symbol of spiritual wisdom.

The lotus flower is a central symbol in Buddhism and represents purity, enlightenment, and spiritual awakening. Although it grows in muddy water, it remains untainted, symbolizing the overcoming of suffering and ignorance. The lotus represents the path to enlightenment, in which purity and clarity are maintained despite worldly challenges.
