Everything else in the piece is arranged around the copper, a warm reddish metal with a soft, low-glare surface. And where the first is quiet, the textile cord is a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface. Physically it is a strand that sits at the wrist. The piece belongs to Lhasa Moments, a series built around highland light, stone colour and architectural lines. 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. A mantra line is inscribed across the surface, following a Tibetan-language formula and reproduced as a design element. It is presented as cultural context rather than as a ritual service or a charged object.
The individual materials are described below, since each has a different tolerance for water, light and knocks. Copper — a warm red-brown metal that never glares back at you. Day to day, its surface deepens in tone the longer it is worn, so the colour you receive keeps moving. The textile cord is a closely braided cord whose matte surface shows the weave up close. Against the skin, it softens further with handling, and a strand worn every day will eventually lift where it crosses a metal edge.
The strand is offered in three wrist ranges, from 5.5–6.7 in (14–17 cm) to 5.5–6.7 in (14–17 cm). Both options are made to the same visual proportions, so the choice is about fit rather than look. The theme here is courage as a daily cue; nothing about the piece is a promise of safety. Minor variation in tone and surface between pieces is normal for hand-finished metal and cord. Final measurements, availability and the preparation window are all confirmed in writing before payment.
Care
Wipe it dry after wear and store it away from damp air; polish only with a copper-safe cloth if you want the original brightness. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and replace the cord once the fibres begin to lift. Avoid soaking it, and keep perfume and household cleaners off the surface. Store the piece separately so it does not scratch against harder jewellery.
