Sterling Silver Pendants

When buying silver, there are generally two ways to go. You can either buy jewelry made from sterling silver, .925, or you can buy Tibetan silver. Tibetan silver is 63% silver while sterling is 92.5% silver. Tibetan silver is found in tons of bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc. from Tibet and Nepal. Tibetan silver does not, however contain nickel and it will not turn your fingers or wrists green. In general, when you are buying rings and earrings and rings, you can choose to purchase sterling silver or Tibetan silver. If you are extremely sensitive you may choose to stick with sterling silver, and there are tons of beautiful sterling silver designs, like those found on our sterling silver rings page. But for most people, the Tibetan silver rings and etc. can be worn as well, depending on the style you are more interested in wearing. But for things like pendants and prayer boxes, regardless of your sensitivity, you can wear either Tibetan silver or sterling silver, no problem. At Om Tibetan Jewelry, we have a large variety of pendants and prayer box gaus in both sterling silver and Tibetan silver. We also sell gold ghaus and pendants. But regardless of which one you choose, you can be sure that the stone used in the pendant is real, because Tibetan jewelry and jewelry from Nepal is only made using real stones. We just uploaded some new pendants in both the sterling silver pendants section and the Tibetan silver pendants section, so check out our new pendants on the links. Here are some photos of the new pendants...

This sterling silver om pendant is made from sterling silver, .925, and the stone at the top of the pendant is turquoise. The om symbol is written in the Tibetan style, rather than sanskrit. You can tell the difference because the second character in the Tibetan style looks like a 'v', whereas it looks like a "0" in Sanskrit.
