The piece opens on the copper, a warm reddish metal with a soft, low-glare surface. The second note comes from the textile cord: a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface. The proportions are kept to a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone, and the design belongs to Tsering Treasures, a series centred on warm metals, carved detail and mixed materials. 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.
It is offered as Vajra Om Mani Padme Hum, which is the configuration shown in the photographs. Ask for extra photographs of the exact piece if any detail matters to your decision. The quiet reading of this design is a personal cue rather than something the piece delivers. The finish is worked by hand, and a patina or a matte surface will not repeat identically from one piece to the next. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any 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. Wipe it after wear, store it dry and away from direct sun, and it will need very little else.
