Gorgeous handcrafted vintage piece of top quality Sterling Silver and vibrant Red Coral Beads set in raised bezels. Across the band reads "Om Mani Padme Hum" in raised lettering, flanked on either side by stylized Dorje symbols, or Tibetan Thunderbolts. The phrase "Om Mani Padme Hum" is one of the most revered mantras of Tibetan Buddhists, especially among followers of the Dalai Lama. It is translated as "Hail the jewel of the Lotus"
to invoke Avlokitesvara (Chenrezig) as a protector from danger. "Om Mani Padme Hum" is found throughout Tibetan Buddhist regions, inscribed on rocks, prayer wheels, walls, paths, and village gates.

Mantras are also interpreted by each person in their own way, either with a specific meaning or simply as sounds that help guide meditation or spiritual quest. The words reinvigorate and comfort many, even when not actively meditating, strengthening their allegiance to gentle Buddhist principles. This wonderfully hefty men's bracelet is exceptionally made in quality Sterling Silver and vibrant Red Coral.
