Locally sourced, no tests on metal or minerals have been carried out.

Very beautiful metal accessories worked in repoussé or with granulometry that separate and embellish the stones.

A very well-made and complex necklace in its composition, elegant. (see the photos carefully!).

2) A particular Nepalese pendant, handcrafted in white metal, with lapis lazuli and Himalayan turquoise and coral.

It should be noted that Nepalese jewelry often has magical, protective, and even medicinal attributes, according to popular beliefs. Depending on the minerals, they may be considered a remedy for rheumatism or cold, or have aphrodisiac powers and to ward off witchcraft and the evil eye, or be a source of fertility, among many other functions.

Turquoise Nepalese or Himalayan (often associated with Tibetan tradition) is considered a sacred stone with deep magical, spiritual, and therapeutic meanings. In Himalayan culture, it is not a mere ornament but a powerful amulet that links heaven and earth.

Here are the main magical meanings and properties attributed to Nepalese/Tibetan turquoise:
Totally Protective Stone: Turquoise is considered a powerful shield against negative energies, the evil eye, and physical dangers. It is believed to change color to warn the wearer of imminent danger or illness.

Spiritual Connection and Wisdom: It is a stone linked to spiritual ascension and purity. It represents ancient wisdom and helps calm the mind, transforming anger into wisdom and favoring meditation.

Communication and Sincerity: It acts on the fifth chakra (throat), promoting clear communication, self-expression, and truth.

Balance and Serenity: Helps to find emotional balance, reducing stress and fostering inner calm.
Symbol of Health and Fortune: In Nepalese and Tibetan culture, turquoise is also associated with good health, vitality, and good luck.

Turquoise Nepalese is often paired with red coral, creating a contrast that symbolizes the union of sun and moon, masculine and feminine, fire and water.

Lapis Lazuli has various magical and spiritual properties, among which we note:

Stone of Wisdom and Truth: It is considered a stone that fosters self-awareness, inner truth, and intellectual honesty.

Protection: Since ancient Egypt, it was used as an amulet to protect against dangers and negative energies.

Communication: Helps express one's emotions and thoughts clearly, strengthening communication.

Serenity and Spirit: Brings inner peace, serenity, and aids in the path of spiritual realization.

Divine Connection: Considered in many ancient civilizations as a stone with a strong link to the divine and higher energies.

Healing Benefits (Crystal Healing):
Nervous System and Mental: It is believed that lapis lazuli helps reduce stress, calm the mind, and relieve headaches and migraines.
Respiratory System: Positively affects the throat and airways
Chakra: It is strongly associated with the fifth chakra (Throat - Vishuddha) for communication and the sixth chakra (Third Eye - Ajna) for intuition.
Sleep: Placed in the bedroom, it can promote deep and restorative sleep.
