Shambhala Striped Dzi

Shambhala bracelets draw their inspiration from the age-old Buddhist prayer beads, which are integral to meditation practices. Their name is a tribute to the legendary kingdom believed to be hidden within the heart of Central Asia, according to Tibetan beliefs. Uzbek artisan Marina Popova pays homage to that iconic accessory with this splendid macrame wristband bracelet, expertly handcrafted from a waxed cotton cord with chalcedony, jasper, tiger's eye and wooden beads. The chalcedony stone features a striped dzi motif, which in Tibetan and Central Asian cultures symbolizes a serene and peaceful life.
