Design Inspiration

In the Tibetan Buddhist story behind this carving, Green Tara is born from a tear of compassion shed by Avalokiteshvara. Her open palm gives that story a human gesture, like a hand reaching out just when someone needs it.

FAQ

What wish does Green Tara express as a gift?
She represents a gentle but steadfast kind of protection. Giving her image to someone setting out on their own can express a wish for their safety and peace of mind.

What does “thangka-inspired” mean here?
The design draws on Tibetan devotional painting. The carver translates details usually depicted in paint, including Tara’s crown and curling scarves, into raised forms you can trace in the jade.

How does the pendant attach to the cord?
The cord passes through a hole near the top of the jade. Two beads sit just above the knot, leaving Tara’s figure fully visible.

Who It’s For

• Someone who turns to Green Tara in prayer and would like to wear her image close.
• A friend or family member who is usually the first to offer help and would appreciate a gesture of care in return.

Care Guidelines

• Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the jade, taking care around the carved folds.
• Store the pendant separately from metal jewelry to protect the polished surface.
