Product Background Product Background

Yak Bone and Horn - The yak is a long-haired peculiar domestic bovine found in Tibet and throughout the snowy Himalayan region of south central Asia. The word yak in Tibetan refers only to the male of the cattle; a female is a nak or dri. However, in English it is used for both sexes. Wild yaks in brown or black, stand about two meters tall at the shoulder. Yaks have been domesticated by Tibetan for centuries. Domesticated yaks are shorter, also in white, both males and females have horns.

Yak is considered "Holy" in Tibet because people there believe the different part of yak will change to sun, moon, stars, mountains, forests and rivers after it dies. The yak horn and bone represents its long-last spirit. Yak horns and bones are often used in jewelry as amulets in a wide range of sizes and shapes. It shows the wearer's strength and purity, and brings joy and courage.

The special carving - product nature and meanings

Rich Spiritual Symbols

The spiritual symbols are often incorporated into the products since the character shines across all aesthetic traditions, for example "The Eight Auspicious Symbols" of Buddhism. Originally these symbols represented Buddha's voice leading the followers to the path of dharma. In life, people believe wearing the jewelry with the symbols on it will bring great fortune.

Precious Umbrella - symbolizes faith and loyalty, the protection from any harmful forces.

Two Golden Fish - symbolizes joy of life, like the fishes' freedom and fertility in water.

Inexhaustible Treasure Vase - symbolizes everlasting wealth.

White Lotus Flower - symbolizes purity, the state of spiritual perfection and total mental clarity. Originated from lotus is able to grow and blossom from the muddy water.

Trumpet-Precious Conch Horn - symbolizes an emblem of power, authority and sovereignty whose blast is believed to banish evil spirits, avert natural disasters, and scare away poisonous creatures.

Glorious Interwoven Knot of Eternity - overlaps without a beginning or an end, symbolizing the Buddha's union of wisdom and compassion. It indicates continuity as the underlying reality of existence.

Supreme Circular Banner Of Victory - means victory of the activities. Originally, the victory banner was a military standard and was adopted by early Buddhism as an emblem of the Buddha's enlightenment, heralding the triumph of knowledge over ignorance.

Wheel Of Dharma - symbolises the auspiciousness of the turning of the precious wheel of Buddha's doctrine. The wheel consists of three basic parts: the hub, the rim, and spokes. The hub stands for training in moral discipline. The spokes stand for the correct application of wisdom, which cuts off ignorance and ends suffering. The rim denotes concentration, which holds the entire meditative practice together, just as the wheel of life is held together by its rim.
