Tibetan bracelets are a fantastic blend of incredible craftsmanship and
amazing gemstones. Tibetan bracelets are often set with green turquoise, red
coral, butterscotch yellow amber, carnelian, labradorites, moonstones and deep
blue lapis lazuli. Gorgeous emeralds, rubies, sapphires, amethysts, citrines and
garnets are common as well.
Most Tibetan bracelets are usually created
from sterling silver, but you'll find pieces in pure silver, bronze and gold.
Look for fabulous Tibetan cuff bracelets. These stunning pieces feature amazing
deep carvings, intricate filigree, fine granulation and hand cuts in the silver.
Tibetan bracelets also often feature amazing gemstone inlays. Artisans often
use shells, like rainbow fire abalone or mother of pearl, as well as turquoise,
lapis lazuli and coral in intricate inlay designs on bracelet links. You'll find
exquisite flower designs and abstract patterns on these gorgeous
bracelets.
Often Tibetan bracelets depict Buddhist symbols. The
elephant-headed wisdom god Ganesh, the double Dorje protection symbol, lotus
blossoms, the sacred conch shell sankha and buddhas are common themes. Many
pieces also feature dragons and snakes.
