Shadow & Light Tibetan Gau Locket Mala

• Where shadow meets light — from our Signature Mala Collection, this one-of-a-kind mala was thoughtfully designed by our jewelry specialist for those seeking balance. It's a piece that reflects the grounding shadows and illuminating light along your spiritual path.
• Features a handcrafted Tibetan Gau locket from Nepal with a Labradorite centerpiece that shimmers in the light. The pendant is surrounded by matte Onyx beads paired with more luminous Labradorite, and accented by Hill Tribe silver spacers stamped with the ancient auspicious 7-dot chakra mark.
• Your mala embodies the dance of shadow and light, and is a reminder that balance comes from embracing both sides. Onyx grounds with quiet strength, while Labradorite shimmers with possibility.

Traditionally, Tibetan Gau lockets are worn as portable shrines, holding sacred relics, mantras, or protective prayers close to the heart. Today, they still serve that purpose for many, but can also be used as a symbolic container for intention. Some wearers tuck in a tiny written affirmation, a meaningful word, or a piece of dried herb or incense as a way to hold space for their own energy.

Labradorite is known as a stone of transformation and intuition, helping reveal hidden truths and spark inner growth. Onyx offers grounding, protection, and strength through challenges. Together, they create a companion for growth rooted in strength and balance.

Your Tibetan Gau includes a small piece of prayer flag—carrying blessings of peace, compassion and protection. Feel free to open an add something meaningful of your own inside.
