Saving Sacred Five Metal Panchadhatu Cuff // Vintage Hindu Auspicious Jewelry // Prosperity and Good Health Mixed Metal Cuff

Panchadhatu in the Hindu religion means five sacred metals. These are usually considered to be gold, silver, copper, iron, and zinc. Wearing a saving Panchadhatu or Panchaloha cuff, or any jewelry composed of these elements, is believed to bring balance in life, self-confidence, fortune, prosperity, good health, and peace of mind.

The actual composition for Panchadhatu was already established in ancient Hindu texts, which outlined design rules, standards, and the precise method of creating the alloy.

Tibetan culture often added meteoric iron, known as thokcha or "sky iron", largely for symbolic purposes. This would increase the auspiciousness of the article for its wearer.

Apart from its spiritual side, Panchadhatus come in a large variety of styles, dimensions, and patterns. The beauty of this vintage piece lies in the interplay of light and dark metals, skillfully interwoven in a braided pattern.

This is an understated solid and distinctive cuff that can be slightly adjusted to accommodate either a slender or more powerful wrist, making it a perfect unisex item.
