Description: * Tibetan Ceremonial belt buckle/clip!!! By the 11th century, Tibet and Nepal had very strong trade links. Nepalese artisans imported from Tibet: turquoise, coral, lapis lazuli and all kinds of semi-precious stones. Newar craftsmen also worked with wood, metal and pearls. In the 12th century, these Nepalese artisans began to migrate to Tibet and work for the great monasteries. Nepalese jewelry became popular for everyone in Tibet, then synonymous with wealth. Due to the unstable political situation in Tibet in the 50s, most of the jewelry makers returned to Kathmandu between 1950 and 1960.Most jewelry from Nepal is made of brass, copper and silver. Some jewels are in 22 karat gold (dark yellow). Jewelry was made from turquoise and coral until the 16th century. Then the Nepalese used other stones, including rubies and sapphires from Sri Lanka and Burma. Today they use a lot of semi-precious stones, coming from India: amethyst, amber, jade, agate, garnet, lapis lazuli, carnelian and opal. Yak bone, wooden beads and seeds are also popular in Nepalese jewelry.It is an absolutely amazing piece. This Tibetan/Nepalese amulet buckle/pendant is set in silver with beautiful turquoise accent center stone. This wonderful piece can be used worn as stunning statement buckle or pendant. It measures 1.25 inches in diameter and weighs 1.33 ounces.
