Tibetan Dorje Jewelry




Many Tibetan gem cutters and silversmiths practice their craft high in the mountains of Nepal in remote villages that have been virtually untouched by time. Fathers teach their sons the techniques to become grand master artisans. Asia is home to some of the worlds finest gemstones, so grand master artisans have a wide variety of stunning stones to work with when creating dorje jewelry. Tibetan jewelry is often set with green turquoise, red coral, butterscotch yellow amber, labradorite and deep blue lapis lazuli. You'll also find stunning dorje jewelry set with fiery white opal, sky-blue fire moonstone and dazzling blue topaz. Most dorje jewelry is deeply carved sterling silver, but you'll find pieces in pure silver, bronze and gold. Look for double dorje jewelry that is ornately carved. You'll be amazed at the intricate hand carvings and artistry in each piece.
