Normally I write about Maori jewelry, and then especially bone carved pendants only, but I'll make an exception this time. This exception is the first step to my new blog about spiritual necklaces. Today I will introduce the Dharma wheel pendant and the Om Mantra pendant. Both originated from ancient Tibetan culture.
The term Dharma refers to the teachings of Buddha. The so called 'turning of the (Dharmacakra) wheel resembles the path to enlightenment. The eight-spoked wheel is an icon of Buddhism and its shape refers to several meanings of the Buddhist teachings and the religion in general. For example discipline in order to maintain mediation is resembled by the hub of the wheel. The circular shape stands for the perfect character of Buddhist teachings.
Om or Aum, stands for the first sound, the first vibration which is though to start all life. It is not only the definite start but also a respresentation of everything.

This is an informative post. I have been trying to search for information regarding the two for my thesis and this really works for me. My professor said it's a very nice information I got.
I learned that it's also about enlightenment and there is really an impact on the spiritual aspect.
Great. I do have never seen any spiritual jewelery but have heard a lot about it. I need to know what is special in spiritual jewelery ? Do they look different from original jewelry or some special material is used.
