This necklace features a large sterling silver pendant called the Tewta (or Tevta) pendant from Rajasthan. (It comes with the 925 hallmark stamp at the back.)

There are many interpretations of the image on this amulet. Some believe these to be Lord Vishnu's footprints revered in tribal India as Sripada - Sripada. It is also believed that these are Lord Buddha's footprints. Some interpret this image as the footprints of Goddess Lakshmi. The common theme in every interpretation is that the footprints serve as a proof of the deity's presence. It is believed that with a spiritual mindset and heart you can see God's footprints wherever you look.

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.

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.

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.
