Tibetan turquoise necklace with old coral

Expressive necklace made from Tibetan turquoise with a central old coral bead - handmade in Atelier Tibet in Zurich.

The spherical Tibetan turquoise beads with a diameter of 9 mm shine in a rich, deep green with characteristic dark veins - strong, grounded, unmistakable. A single, naturally shaped old coral bead in warm terracotta red sits as a calming centerpiece - irregular and original, just as it comes from nature. The lobster clasp is made of silver.

Tibetan 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.

Corals have 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.
