Yellow Jambhala Ring in Silver 925 and Brass

Description

Yellow Jambhala ring silver and brass: two metals cast together into a portrait held on the finger. The warmth of brass and the cool of 925 silver meet in a surface that is detailed, legible, and precisely made.

Jambhala is the Tibetan Buddhist deity of wealth and abundance, his name tracing to the Sanskrit word for lemon, the fruit held in his right hand. Across Tibetan, Nepalese, and Bhutanese iconography, Jambhala appears in five forms, each distinguished by color and attribute. The yellow form is the most widely venerated. This ring follows the silversmithing traditions of the Kathmandu Valley, where artisans have produced devotional metalwork in silver and brass for centuries, a craft sustained through apprenticeship lineages that remain unbroken.

The band is adjustable, constructed in 925 silver with brass detailing that defines Jambhala’s features: the lemon in his right hand, the mongoose in his left. The setting is raised, allowing the carved relief to catch light from multiple angles. Band width is moderate, wide enough for fine detail without becoming heavy on the finger. The silver maintains its finish with minimal care. The brass develops a warm patina over time. Sizing accommodates most adult fingers without tools or resizing.
