Built around clear quartz, the piece begins with a near-colourless, transparent stone with faint internal veining and small natural inclusions. Beside it, the textile cord is a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface, so the piece reads in two registers at once. The proportions are kept to a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone, and the design belongs to Lhasa Moments, a series built around highland light, stone colour and architectural lines. The mountain motif takes the form of a ridgeline silhouette. High ground recurs throughout this studio’s design language, and the profile is used here as a way of holding a landscape in mind rather than as a claim about where the piece was made. The vajra appears as a crossed, symmetrical metal form. It is a recognisable Himalayan Buddhist shape, used here as a precise geometric centre point for the design.
Material behaviour explains most of what happens to a piece after a year of wear, so it is worth being specific. The clear quartz appears as a transparent, near-colourless stone whose faint internal veining shows through the polish. Against the skin, it holds a clean polish well and hides light handling better than a softer stone would. Inside the piece, the textile cord is a closely braided cord whose matte surface shows the weave up close. Handled often, it softens further with handling, and a strand worn every day will eventually lift where it crosses a metal edge.
The fit is set from the measurement you supply, so nothing is assumed. If two options are close, say how you plan to wear the piece and we will say which one suits it better. The theme here is courage as a daily cue; nothing about the piece is a promise of safety. Bead tone, matrix and grain will not repeat exactly from one piece to the next, and that is normal. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.
Care
Avoid prolonged direct sun and household chemicals, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and replace the cord once the fibres begin to lift. Remove it before a shower or a swim, and dry it fully if it does get wet. Wipe it after wear, store it dry and away from direct sun, and it will need very little else.
