Onyx necklace with silver vajra

Elegant necklace made from faceted black onyx with a silver vajra pendant - handmade in Atelier Tibet in Zurich.

The small faceted onyx beads with a diameter of 3 mm sparkle intensely in the light - each facet refracts the light and gives the necklace a lively, almost diamond-like glitter. The deep, velvety black forms an attractive contrast to the 20 mm high silver vajra pendant, which is finely open-worked and ends in a crown of lotus leaves at the top and bottom. Silver clasp.

The vajra (Tibetan: dorje) is one of the most important symbols in Tibetan Buddhism. The ritual lightning symbol stands for the indestructible power of enlightenment - hard and unbreakable like a diamond, yet unstoppable like lightning. In tantric Buddhism, it symbolizes the absolute reality beyond all illusions and is used as a tool to overcome ignorance. The vajra is inextricably linked to the energy of the Bodhisattva Vajrasattva and stands for clarity, protection and spiritual power.
