Pendant Locket Mantra Om en 925 Sterling Silver

Description

Pendant locket mantra sterling opens to reveal an interior kept close to the skin: outside, the Om symbol rises from a lotus bloom, and the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra encircles the edge in hand-engraved Tibetan script.

The lotus holds a particular position in Buddhist iconography across Nepal, Tibet, and the broader Himalayan tradition. It rises from opaque water to flower in clear air, a form understood to represent the path from confusion toward clarity. The Om symbol, one of the oldest sonic forms in the Vedic and Buddhist traditions, is placed at the lotus center, their meanings amplified by proximity. This pendant is worked by silver artisans in Kathmandu, Nepal, trained in a lineage of hand-engraving that predates the tourist trade by centuries.

Cast and engraved in 925 sterling silver, 92.5 percent pure silver by weight. The locket disc measures approximately 3 cm in diameter. The lotus petals are etched in low relief; the Om symbol is raised at center; the mantra text runs the circumference in fine script. A hinged clasp opens cleanly to a smooth interior cavity sized to hold a folded slip of paper or a small photograph. Total weight is approximately 8 grams. The bail accepts chains of standard gauge.
