Tibet is a completely land-locked nation, with 90% of its land well above sea-level. For that reason, shells were considered sacred to the Tibetans, who had to make long and deliberate journeys to obtain these precious treasures. White is a particularly sacred color for Tibetans, so white conch shells are considered among the most valuable materials for making jewelry. The shape is the traditional rams horn, symbolizing strength and protection. This wonderful contemporary men's pendant was handcrafted in Nepal by Tibetan Tribal Artisans living there in exile. It has ornate metal work that completely encircles to top portion, with an articulated hinged bail for stringing on a favorite cord or chain. Price is for one Pendant.
