Shivani Choudhary charming bracelet and necklace jewelry set honers Lord Bajrang Bali, a devote of Rama. To create the necklace Indian artisans suspend the sterling silver Lord from a long strand of green quartz and tiger's eye beads that loop around your head without a clasp. The matching stretch bracelet is crafted from durable elastic cord and alternating quartz and tiger's eye beads.

Carved from dark green jade — so dark it seems black — the "Om" symbol of Lord Shiva flourishes like ancient calligraphy. This mantra is used in mystical contemplation of ultimate reality and is considered the resonant body of the absolute. From Jorge Lopez, the elegant pendant is worn on a black cotton necklace. Its length can be adjusted by sliding the knots along the cords.

Please note: Etched image may fade somewhat over time, as a result of absorbing body oils and/or skincare products. Simply wash the pendant with soap and water and let it dry to refresh the design again.

Seated on a tiger, Shiva lifts a hand in blessing. Regarded as the celestial overlord of deliverance through destruction, Shiva has his customary trident by his side as a show of divinity. The hissing cobra that slithers around his head symbolizes his potent divine destructivity, and his matted hair is thought to contain the flow of the Ganges River. Shiva is one of the most complex gods of India, embodying seemingly contradictory qualities. He is both the destroyer and the restorer, the great ascetic and the symbol of sensuality, the benevolent herdsman of souls and the wrathful avenger. Unaffected by the whims of the world, he is innocent and guileless, pure of mind and heart. He does not adorn his body with jewels or flowers — he mats his hair and dresses in animal hide.
