CORAL BEADS NECKLACE

A single strand of coral beads — clean, pure, and powerful — is the most classic form of Himalayan personal ornament. In Monpa households, this necklace was the first piece of jewellery placed on a child and the last worn by an elder. Coral was believed to contain the memory of the ocean — ancient, boundless, and nourishing — bringing that vastness to a landlocked mountain people who dreamed of the cosmic seas beyond the peaks. This necklace is a quiet, profound statement of connection to something ancient and infinite.
