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.

Sourced directly from a trusted Nepalese artisan couple during a recent gem show, this one-of-a-kind Gau immediately caught our attention with its intricate craftsmanship and vibrant gemstone details. Inspired by the colorful stonework, our jewelry designer carefully selected high-quality, genuine Turquoise beads to create a mala that celebrates the artistry, symbolism, and traditions behind the Tibetan Gau locket.

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.
