The clear quartz leads here, and it is a near-colourless, transparent stone with faint internal veining and small natural inclusions. The textile cord provides the counterweight, being a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface. The form is a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone, and it 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.
The individual materials are described below, since each has a different tolerance for water, light and knocks. The clear quartz is a transparent, near-colourless stone whose faint internal veining shows through the polish. Worn regularly, it holds a clean polish well and hides light handling better than a softer stone would. Textile Cord — a closely braided cord whose matte surface shows the weave up close. Day to day, 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. Colour, veining and grain differ between individual stones and beads, which is normal rather than a fault. 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. Water, perfume and cleaning products are the three things most likely to shorten its life. Keep it out of a damp room and separate from harder pieces, and the finish will hold far longer.
