Tibetan Ganesh Jewelry

Tibetan jewelry has been known for centuries as among the most finely crafted in the world. Skilled artisans use the same techniques that have been used for generations to create the gorgeous silverworks and gem cuts. They often use Buddhist themes in their work, and one of the most interesting is Ganesh.

Ganesh is the elephant headed god of wisdom and success. He is known in Buddhism as the defender and remover of obstacles  Ganesh is also the god representing success in work, so fabulous Ganesh jewelry is the perfect piece for a young woman who is entering the workforce.

Ganesh only has one full tusk -- the other is broken. Buddhist tradition say he either lost his tusk in a fight or that he broke it off to write the book of Mahabharata.

You'll find Ganesh jewelry with the god represented as a fantastic carving in a gemstone like carnelian or in conch shell. The rendering will also be carved in fabulous sterling silver or other metal in gemstone jewelry.

Look for Ganesh jewelry with turquoise, coral and lapis lazuli inlays or carved in majestic mother of pearl. A Ganesh pendant would be a thoughtful gift for a new graduate.
