Both lockets turn: one face is a glass dome over the mandala sand, the other a medallion engraved with the Bijala mark. Both are 925 silver, in either an 18k gold or a rhodium finish. Locket 01 carries five carats behind a round medallion, on a black cord. Locket 02 carries two carats behind a scalloped medallion, on a fine chain.

No. The bracelet holds no sand. Its stones come from the same vein that supplies the ceremony's sand, gathered on the same days and blessed by the same monks. What you're wearing is the stone, not the sand.

Tibetan Gold Plating is pure gold laid over pure silver, so treat it like fine vermeil: keep it away from water, perfume, and lotion, and store it separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Gold plating is a finish, not a solid metal, so like all vermeil it will show wear over years of daily use - that's part of how the piece ages with you.

You may return your piece within 14 days of delivery, provided it's unworn and in its original packaging. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility. If your piece arrives damaged or with a manufacturing fault, contact us directly and we'll take care of it.
