About Our Product

This Buddhist Maitreya Locket is a handcrafted sacred pendant created from 92.5 sterling silver with pure gold fire gilding. The front surface features a finely carved image of Maitreya Buddha seated gracefully within an ornate arched frame. The detailed gold-gilded figure contrasts beautifully against the silver background, highlighting the intricate engraving, decorative elements, and traditional metalwork techniques used in its creation. The rectangular pendant design, refined border, and carefully finished surface showcase the precision and artistry of skilled Himalayan craftsmen.

Maitreya Buddha, known as the future Buddha in Buddhist traditions, is traditionally associated with loving-kindness, wisdom, and the continuation of the Buddha’s teachings. The carving depicts Maitreya seated in a dignified posture with traditional ornamental details surrounding the figure. The reverse side of the locket features engraved sacred inscriptions, adding another layer of spiritual and artistic detail to the piece. Created by artist Manoj Shakya in 2026, this pendant reflects the continuation of the Newar tradition of handcrafted silverwork and fire gilding techniques.

This Maitreya Buddha pendant is suitable for collectors of fine Buddhist jewelry, practitioners, and those who appreciate traditional Himalayan craftsmanship. The combination of precious silver, pure gold gilding, and meaningful Buddhist imagery makes it a distinctive piece for personal wear, spiritual collections, or as a treasured cultural ornament. Whether displayed or worn, this handcrafted locket represents the connection between sacred symbolism, traditional artistry, and the skill of master artisans.

Introduction of Locket

A Buddhist locket is a piece of jewelry designed to hold a small prayer, mantra, or image related to Buddhist practice. It may feature a design or image of a Buddhist deity, such as the Buddha, or a representation of a sacred symbol like the lotus flower. Typically worn as a talisman, it serves to remind the wearer of their spiritual path and offer protection. Some Buddhist lockets are also used for religious devotion and are often given as gifts to friends and family members to provide them with spiritual support and blessings.
