Sterling Silver
In Tibetan and Mongolian traditions, silver is believed to repel negativity and channel the power of the moon. It is often worn close to the body in amulets and sacred jewelry, especially by traveling monks and herders.
Care: Polish gently with a soft cloth to maintain its natural patina; store away from moisture.
Turquoise
Turquoise is among the most sacred stones in Tibetan Buddhism — symbolizing the vast sky, clarity of mind, and long life. Passed from mother to daughter, it is often worn at the throat to protect one's voice and truth.
Care: Avoid direct sunlight and oils; wipe clean with a soft dry cloth.
Red Agate & Carnelian
Known as the “Blood of the Earth,” red agate and Nanhong carnelian are prized for their grounding energy. Used in malas and offering bowls, these stones are believed to enhance vitality, emotional strength, and ancestral connection.
Care: Keep away from harsh detergents.
Yak Bone
In the snowy grasslands, yak bone is carved by hand into protective beads and amulets. It reflects the Buddhist belief in cycles of life and death, and serves as a tactile reminder of compassion in the face of change.
Care: Store dry; oil lightly with natural balm to prevent cracking.
Each NOMAYA piece is handcrafted in collaboration with artisans who honor centuries-old rituals — blessing each item before it begins its journey to you. These stones are more than beautiful; they are living links to a wilder, wiser world.
