The first reference to Diamond was in Sanskrit. Described as "vajra", the diamond was recognized, because of it's brilliance and hardness, as the embodiment of celestial knowledge and wisdom. The Tibetan Thogchag, circa 14th c., is in the form of a vajra and symbolizes that supreme wisdom. Within the cage I inserted an actual diamond crystal then replaced the missing bar with one of platinum. The platinum C-clamp, which holds the vajra is engraved with Tibetan clouds. I then surrounded the middle of the amulet with two rows of cut diamonds in platinum and have attached this object to a frosted, rock crystal base. Measures approx. 3" high.

Simply radiant on any skin tone, this necklace is truly extraordinary. To have a collection of similarly shaped, natural abalone pearls that are flat enough to lie on the neck properly, is a rare triumph. While it can be worn as a chic accessory to any casual outfit (yes, even jeans), this stunning and elegant necklace will complement any attire, from the business suit to the wedding dress. These abalone pearls are luminous and colorful, ultra feminine and quite possibly the loveliest such necklace in existence.
