Nepalese Prayer Boxes

Nepalese Prayer Boxes

Before we look at the ethnic and tribal jewelry of Nepal, let's talk about the country of its origin. Nepal is landlocked and borders India and China. Mountains, hills, valleys and plains dominate the geography of Nepal. The country encompasses a large portion of the Himalayan range. Mt. Everest, the highest point of the Himalayas falls in Nepal. (Mount Everest region has four peaks above 8000 meters and 38 peaks above 7000 meters, and is often referred to as the Third Pole on the Earth.) Nepal is an independent country striving to advance itself. The natives of Nepal still follow age-old customs of Hindu and Buddhist religious practices.
We are presenting to you an absolutely extraordinary collection of ORIGINAL Nepalese jewelry! Nepalese Sterling Silver prayer boxes, Nepalese Sterling Silver pendants, and Nepalese Sterling Silver rings! ALL Gemstones featured are NATURAL and as described. Most often the stones used by the artists of Nepal are Coral and Turquoise. The metal is Sterling Silver and in one case Tibetan Silver (a white metal alloy).
Meaning of CORAL (according to the traditions of Nepal): Coral symbolizes life and blood force energy. Deep red coral is used for heating and stimulating the bloodstream. Chakra: The First Chakra (Base of Spine). Anniversary Stone: 35th.
Meaning of TURQUOISE (according to the traditions of Nepal): Turquoise is a truth stone, it symbolizes the time to be honest with yourself. It is one of the oldest stones known. A turquoise given by a loving friend, protects the wearer from negative energy and brings good fortune. The turquoise is a symbol of friendship. It also makes for a peaceful home. Chakra: The Fifth Chakra (Throat ). Anniversary Stone: 11th.

(We feature several Nepalese Ghau Boxes that can be opened and used to store pictures, or whatever else you treasure and want to carry all day long. The Nepalese GHAU box is a portable shrine or a prayer box. The people of Nepal put scriptures inside and wear a Ghau everyday as a form of active prayer. Today, many people wearing Nepalese Ghau carry in it a WISH written on a small strip of paper in the belief that the act of carrying it will speed up its fulfillment....)
