Vintage Indian Tribal Silver Hindu God Cow Deity Kamdhenu Necklace
$ 159.00
This vintage ethnic tribal silver pendant from Rajasthan, India features Kamdhenu, (also known as Surabhi) a divine bovine-goddess revered in Hinduism as the mother of all cows. She is also considered a miraculous wish-granting "cow of plenty" and it has been believed that worshiping her at home or keeping her in close proximity brings wealth and abundance.
These Kamdhenu pendants are rare to find even in the old homes in the interiors of Rajasthan and hence this pendant is one of my most treasured finds.
To honor this sacred pendant, I wanted to use only old and recycled components in this composition. That explains the accompaniment of handmade African beads (made out of recycled glass) and handmade artisan Berber beads (made out of recycled silver and coins).
A handmade Bali silver clasp completes the look keeping it elegant and simple.
The necklace measures approx. 20 inches from end to end.

Vintage Hindu God Krishna Necklace, Rajasthan Jewelry, Rare Ethnic Indian Tribal Silver
$ 649.00
This necklace features a rare ancient silver pendant from Rajasthan with a painting of Lord Krishna.
No one seems to know the origin or the artist of this painting (which I think adds an aura of mystery to this piece) but it appears to be deity Shrinathji, a manifestation of Krishna as a seven-year-old child as mentioned in Hindu scriptures.
I strung the pendant in a row of vintage Nepalese "Roman Face" beads alternating with artisan-made old Ethiopian silver bi-cones beads. These beads were made using traditional silversmithing techniques and each bead is unlike any other bead in the collection. Towards the back side of the necklace and right above the pendant, I strung handmade old Ethiopian silver heishi beads and closed the necklace in a sterling silver hook clasp.
The necklace has an extender chain and an Indian "ghunghroo" trinket at the end - both in sterling silver.
Isn't it amazing how every community of artists have their own interpretation and vision of Krishna - one of the most charming of Indian deities?
The necklace measures approx. 18 inches from end to end and the pendant adds an additional depth of 1.5 inches. The overall length can be adjusted upto another 2.5 inches approx. with the help of the extension chain.

Vintage African Glass Bone Shell Necklace, Tribal Hindu Deity Hanuman Bajrangbali Necklace
$ 229.00
This very feminine and delicate necklace is made out of vintage African glass beads in creamy white color, old shell beads, bone beads and pure silver beads from Jaipur and a 925 hallmark silver Hanuman pendant from Rajasthan, India.
(The Hanuman pendant is contemporary silver and not a vintage piece.)
Lord Hanuman, an ardent devotee of Lord Rama and one of the central characters in the various versions of the epic Ramayana found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, is worshiped for his bravery and fearlessness. He has many names like Maruti, Pawansuta, Bajrangbali, Mangalmurti and is considered to be strong and protective and is especially called upon for strength and comfort during times of fear and distress.
The shell beads have some imperfections that I have tried to highlight in the photos. These imperfections, in my opinion, add to the character and talk of the journey of the bead (the beauty of old beads is in their journey and the people who have loved and cherished them in different forms, don't you think? :))
However if those imperfections bother you, you can always turn them around when you wear the necklace.
The four floral silver rondelle beads around the bone beads are from Jaipur, India and are a higher quality silver than sterling 92.5%.
A Bali silver hook clasp completes the necklace. I added the "Brave" charm in honor of Lord Hanuman and with a prayer that this provides strength to the wearer and serves as a reminder of the "Brave" hidden within her. (The charm is a silver plated lead free, nickel free alloy.)
The necklace measures approx. 17 inches from end to end and sits pretty and delicate around the neck.

Tribal Hindu Deity Durga Shakti 925 Silver Hematite Necklace, Diwali Navratri Necklace
$ 279.00
This necklace features a big Durga amulet from Rajasthan, India in 925 hallmark silver and powerful natural Brazilian hematite beads along with silver beads from Jaipur and Africa.
(The Durga pendant is contemporary silver and not a vintage piece.)
This amulet features Goddess Shakti in her Durga form, one of her ten forms that are revered during Durga Pooja or Navratras. In Indian mythology it is believed that Durga was born when Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv, the trinity of supreme divinity in Hinduism, were troubled by the atrocities of the demon Mahishasura and even their combined powers could do nothing to stop him. It was at this crucial point that Durga is said to have been born from the anger and helplessness of these three Gods. She is hence believed to be the supreme power or Shakti.
Hematite (different from "Hematine" which is a magnetic imitation of hematite) is one of the densest gemstones (though it is soft and has a slightly brittle tenacity and is to be handled with the same care as one would handle gemstones like Opal and Apatite) known and is believed to be a very powerful healing stone. It has been, since the Victorian times, used for alleviating blood-related disorders since it is thought to stimulate the absorption of iron and in turn, improve the supply and circulation of oxygen in the body. Hematite is also used for the relief of fever and pain from cramps. It is considered to be a grounding stone that has a cooling and calming effect. Mentally, it is thought to help calm the mind and clear the way for enhanced focus and concentration. Hematite is also an important stone in Chinese 'Feng Shui'.
A little fun fact: Hematite was used as red chalk for some of the earliest writing in human history. The first use of hematite is estimated to have been around 164,000 years ago. Red chalk mines dating back to 5000 BC have been found in Poland and Hungary.
The bicone shaped silver beads are vintage handmade African Berber beads. The four floral silver rondelle beads around the Berber silver beads are from Jaipur, India and are a higher quality silver than sterling 92.5%.
A Bali silver hook clasp completes the necklace. I added the "Brave" charm in honor of Maa Durga and with a prayer that this provides strength to the wearer and serves as a reminder of the "Brave" hidden within her. (The charm is a silver plated lead free, nickel free alloy.)
The necklace measures a little over 18 inches from end to end and sits majestic and powerful along the neckline.
The hematite has a burnt red metallic sheen which coupled with the patina on the silver makes it a very versatile piece to go with any outfit.
Due to the nature of Hematite, this necklace does have a significantly pleasing weight. It will make a very unique, heirloom worthy addition to your wardrobe.

Tribal Durga Shakti Prayer Box Amulet Silver Necklace, Diwali Necklace
$ 189.00
This is a beautiful prayer box shaped tribal silver amulet from Rajasthan, India with the Goddess Durga in her Shakti form.
According to Hindu scriptures, Goddess Durga is the mother of the universe and the power or "Shakti" behind the work of creation, preservation, and destruction of the world.
Since time immemorial she has been worshiped as the supreme feminine energy that is used against the negative forces of evil. She is believed to be the combined form of all the powers of all Goddesses.
The amulet opens from the left (as shown in the picture) and can be used to store any precious item like a religious/motivational verse, a love note, herbs, essential oil soaked cotton, dry flowers or any little trinket of emotional significance.
I strung this pendant in a strand of Infrared fire-polished saturated matte fuchsia glass beads from the Czech republic. These beads have been very hard to photograph as they show color variations from hot pink to dusty rose to coral pink. But in each of those variations they look just as pretty!
Interspersed in that strand are six small charms made by Karen Hill Tribe Artisans in Northern Thailand. This beautiful metal distinguishes itself by having a much higher content of pure silver than sterling silver. Each piece is made by hand using age old silver-smith processes and tools. The result is an earthy, artisan feel that gives this necklace such a pious look!
(An interesting fact about Karen Hill Tribe silver artisans that I learnt is that they were the earliest of the Hill Tribes to settle in Thailand and most of them fled persecution in Burma. In addition to being skilled silversmiths, they are good elephant handlers and farmers. Originally, many of the hill tribes were involved in opium growing in the Golden Triangle mountainous areas of Northern Thailand and had run the soil barren with their destructive farming techniques.
In 1969 Thailand's revered King decided to try to help tackle the crisis with "The Royal Project" that encouraged new rotational crops to replace opium and focused on self sufficiency by making silver-smithing the world famous cottage industry that it is today.)
A Bali silver hook clasp completes the necklace. I added the "Brave" charm in honor of Maa Durga and with a prayer that this provides strength to the wearer and serves as a reminder of the "Brave" hidden within her. (The charm is a silver plated lead free, nickel free alloy.)
The necklace measures a approx. 18 inches from end to end and sits extremely pretty around the neck.

It was at this crucial point that Durga is said to have been born from the anger and helplessness of these three Gods. She is hence believed to be the supreme power or Shakti.
I used old tribal tube and tiny disc beads (silver content of these is unknown since they are really old and the original source of these beads is not known) and strung the pendant in leather cord in a mustard yellow shade to compliment the yellow brass like patina on the disc beads. The Durga pendant is heavier than many such small silver amulets from that era with a weight of 3.7 gms.
A handmade Bali silver hook completes the look, keeping it elegant, simple and versatile.

Rare Vintage Silver Amulets Rose Quartz Multi Charm Necklace, Durga Shakti Silver Puja Necklace
$ 329.00
This necklace features five vintage tribal silver amulets from Rajasthan. These amulets have been known to have been created between 1920s to 1950s.
The big central "yoni" shaped amulet features Maa Durga or Shakti. The word "Yoni" (which means "womb") is the symbol of the Hindu Divine Goddess.
The Hindu Goddess Shakti, in her Durga form, is one of the ten forms that are revered during Durga Pooja or Navratras. In Indian mythology it is believed that Durga was born when Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv, the trinity of supreme divinity in Hinduism, were troubled by the atrocities of the demon Mahishasura and even their combined powers could do nothing to stop him. It was at this crucial point that Durga is said to have been born from the anger and helplessness of these three Gods. She is hence believed to be the supreme power or Shakti.
There is also another interpretation of the image on this amulet. Some texts say it depicts the four armed Bheru or Bhairava - a form of Lord Shiva in his fearful aspect - together with his "vahana" (vehicle) - the dog. In his Bhairava form, Shiva has a trishul (trident), a drum, a dagger and a skull-mace (khatvanga).
The four smaller amulets capture Maa Durga in her various forms with the first one on the left of the central amulet being the one to capture the Goddess's feet, a revered tradition in the Hindu pantheon.
Interspersed between the ancient amulets are floral silver rondelle beads from Jaipur, India. They are a higher quality silver than sterling 92.5%.

Rajasthan Silver Hindu Goddess Tiger Eye Necklace Earrings Set
$ 229.00
This necklace features a large round Durga amulet from Rajasthan, India in 925 hallmark silver and Tiger Eye gemstone beads along with Berber silver beads from Africa. (The Durga pendant is contemporary silver and not a vintage piece.)
Tiger Eye (or Tiger’s Eye more specifically) is known to be an ancient talisman. Mysterious and powerful, revered and feared, an “all-seeing, all-knowing eye,” thought to grant the wearer a similar ability. Linked to the tiger, (the king of beasts and Maa Durga's vaahan or vehicle), this stone portrays courage, integrity and the righteous use of power.
A fun fact: It was chosen by the Egyptians for the eyes in their deity statues to express divine vision, and was believed to provide the protection of the sun and earth combined, of Ra, the Sun God and Geb, the God of the growing land. Roman soldiers carried it to deflect weapons and to be brave in battle. It has been highly regarded throughout history as a stone of prosperity and good fortune, protecting one’s resources and reflecting back malice or threats from others.
The silver amulet features Goddess Shakti in her Durga form, one of her ten forms that are revered during Durga Pooja or Navratras. In Indian mythology it is believed that Durga was born when Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv, the trinity of supreme divinity in Hinduism, were troubled by the atrocities of the demon Mahishasura and even their combined powers could do nothing to stop him. It was at this crucial point that Durga is said to have been born from the anger and helplessness of these three Gods. She is hence believed to be the supreme power or Shakti.
The bicone shaped silver beads are vintage handmade African Berber beads. The other silver beads interspersed through the length of the necklace are silver plated heishi disc beads.
The earrings are Sterling Silver Tiger Eye gemstone earrings from Jaipur, India.
A Bali silver hook clasp completes the necklace. I added the "Brave" charm in honor of Maa Durga and with a prayer that this provides strength to the wearer and serves as a reminder of the "Brave" hidden within her. (The charm is a silver plated lead free, nickel free alloy.)
The necklace measures approx. 18 inches from end to end. The pendant is around 2.5 inches in diameter.

Rajasthan Miniature Painting Lakshmi Wealth Goddess Footprint Necklace
$ 59.00
This necklace features a small hand painted silver pendant that illustrates the sacred symbol of Goddess Lakshmi's feet.

These foot print symbols are hence considered pious and fortifying and every year during the Diwali festival, they are worn or drawn in Indian homes to invite the Goddess into their lives.
The blue-grey color used in the pendant was so unique that I spent weeks scouring bead stores (and looking up online) for the color matching beads that added to and not took away from (yes, some beads are known to do that :)) the beauty that this little pendant is. And imagine my joy when at the end of three weeks I ran into an exact match in the Crystals section at my local bead store! The joy!
I added orange lampwork glass beads to the crystals to bring out the colors of the feet.
The necklace is approx. 17 inches long so it sits very close to the clavicle. The metal beads used through the length of the necklace are a combination of silver plated zinc and Bali silver beads. A Bali silver clasp completes the look.

There are multiple interpretations of the image on this amulet. Some texts say it depicts the four armed Bheru or Bhairava - a form of Lord Shiva in his fearful aspect - together with his "vahana" (vehicle) - the dog. In his Bhairava form, Shiva has a trishul (trident), a drum, a dagger and a skull-mace (khatvanga).
In most cases the same image, due to its feminine form, is associated with Goddess Shakti in the Kali Mata form.
I strung this pendant in five strands of high quality faceted Sunstone beads. These stones show an amazing brilliance as the light hits them. Sunstone is also considered to be a very powerful stone in crystal energy work for dispelling fears and phobias. It is also known to bring leadership qualities to its wearer in addition to decreasing stress and depression. This made it the ideal choice to combine with the energy of this amulet.
I closed the strands with handmade Bali silver bead cones and a Bali silver S-hook clasp.
