Lifting one hand in blessing, Buddha is a beautiful presence. Gulam Rasool captures his peaceful features and posture in pristine white marble. A floral chakra, or wheel surrounds the master's head like a halo.

Buddha sits on a lotus throne exuding serene elegance as he prepares to embark on the journey of a lifetime. He holds in one hand a mystical weapon similar to a trisula, and a jug of holy water to bless humankind. Inspired, Nyoman Sudiana carves Buddha's image from noble suar wood with sublime mastery in every detail.

Meditating serenely on a lotus throne. Buddha is a beautiful presence. Gulam Rasool captures his peaceful features and posture in a soapstone sculpture. A floral chakra wheel surrounds the master's head like a halo.

Inspired by a thousand-year-old Tibetan tradition, artisans in Indonesia design this karma counter for the Pertiwi Collection. For each good deed you do, place a piece of white sandstone in the center of the dark brown sono wood holder. For each bad deed you do, place a grey pebble. At the end of the day, you will be able to compare the number of good deeds with the number of bad deeds and decide how to improve your karma.

Carved from dark green jade — so dark it appears almost black — the "Om" symbol of Lord Shiva flourishes like ancient calligraphy. This mantra is used in mystical contemplation of ultimate reality and is considered the resonant body of the absolute. From Jorge Lopez, the elegant pendant is worn on a black cotton necklace. Its length can be adjusted by sliding the knots along the cords.

Please note: Etched image may fade somewhat over time, as a result of absorbing body oils and/or skincare products. Simply wash the pendant with soap and water and let it dry to refresh the design again.

The mythical symbol for "Om" is luminous in a necklace from Bali's Henry Anthony Sanny. In Hindu tradition Om or Aum is a sacred incantation to be intoned at the beginning and end of a reading of the Vedas, as well as prior to any prayer or mantra. Sanny handcrafts this elegant sterling silver necklace for men.
