Jewelry
plays a very important role in the culture of Nepal and Tibet. Jewelry is a
part of a dress, a symbol of spirituality, and a part of everyday life.
Tibetans do not wear jewelry just to beautify themselves. Tibetans wear their
jewelry as amulets or as a kind of the bank, which is always with them. In
Tibet, jewelry is also an indicator of the social status.
Tibetan
jewelry is majorly crafted using stones using Tibetan silver and stones like
turquoise, coral and amber. It is among the most finely crafted jewelry in the
world. Tibetan people believe that coral and turquoise stones symbolize health,
luck, and fortune.

in Tibet are highly skilled and have utilized the same techniques for
generations to create the most gorgeous pieces of jewelry. The art of crafting
jewelry usually runs in the family. Tibetan artists incorporate Buddhist
designs in their work. Following is the

boxes, or prayer boxes are worn as amulets that provide protection for the
wearer. The box usually contains a scroll that has been specifically prepared

contains a gemstone which bears protective powers or even a bag of healing
herbs. Following is a picture of one such Ghau box:
