The piece opens on the copper, a warm reddish metal with a soft, low-glare surface. 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 strand that sits at the wrist, and the design belongs to Lhasa Moments, a series built around highland light, stone colour and architectural lines. 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 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.
Each material behaves differently, so it is worth knowing how the parts age before you choose. The copper appears as a warm red-brown metal that never glares back at you. Against the skin, its surface deepens in tone the longer it is worn, so the colour you receive keeps moving. 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 current strand fits a wrist of 5.5–7.1 in (14–18 cm). Ask us for a photograph on a measured wrist if the difference between two options is unclear. The protective reading of this piece is a wearer’s reminder, not a result it guarantees. Treat the photograph as a close guide: hand-worked surfaces carry small differences piece to piece. Availability, the final measurements and the preparation window are confirmed with you 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. Remove it before a shower or a swim, and dry it fully if it does get wet. Storing it apart from other pieces keeps the surface in the condition it arrived in.
