About Dhvaja Halskjede
Dhvaja er et halskjede som kan åpnes for å oppbevare små minnegjenstander. Formen er inspirert av dhvaja, ett av de åtte lykkebringende symbolene i buddhismen, som står for seier og kraften til å overvinne det onde. Halskjedet er laget av 18 karat gull og ferdigstilt med speilpolering og perlekantteknikk. Smykket består av to hoveddeler: en dekorativ dhvaja og en forseglet beholder. Dhvajaen roteres forsiktig for å løsne den fra kjedet, slik at gjenstander som en hårlokk, tekster eller brev kan plasseres inni. Den vanntette utformingen gjør det mulig å bære smykket over lang tid.
