Artisan Craft & Tibetan Origin
This exquisite piece was born in the workshops of Kham, a region renowned for its metalwork and spiritual artistry. Forged by hand using techniques passed down through generations, the sterling silver was carefully shaped and set with a piece of natural coral—a stone highly valued in Tibetan culture for its protective and vitalizing properties. The slight patina and unique character confirm its authentic vintage status, telling a story no new piece can replicate.
