Also known as Temple Bangles, they are handmade by Buddhist monks in northern Thailand, from clear, durable plastic tubing, often containing a tiny piece of gold leaf, holy powder, or a blessed scroll inside. Traditionally sealed with a protective mantra, they are worn in odd numbers for balance and protection. Lightweight, silent, and waterproof, they are sold in sets of nine, each featuring a Buddha or Ganesh pendant. The Birthday Buddha reflects the posture of the Buddha for each day of the week — based on your birth date — while Ganesh, the revered Indian deity, symbolizes wisdom, prosperity, and the removal of obstacles.
Available in yellow or rose gold for Buddha, or yellow gold for Ganesh, the set can also be paired with two sterling silver bangles for a refined finish)
