About

The Citipati Three-Way Bead draws its soul from the fearsome Lords of the Charnel Grounds in Tibetan Buddhism. This dual-faced design isn't just art—it's a philosophy in your palm. The left side, a complete skeletal visage, reminds us that life is fleeting. The right, carved from craggy rock, speaks of the immortal soul. Across its surface flows a mantra in Tibetan script, etched into the stone like a whisper from the void. It tells the story of hermits and seekers scaling cliffside silence to find clarity—and mirrors the object's spiritual function as a tool for meditation, where holding it becomes an act of self-refinement.

Carved with fire and spirit, the base unfurls into a streaming khata scarf, morphing midair into flames pulled from thangka scrolls—the fire of wisdom. These flames don't just look good—they symbolize purification, burning away karma and illusion, spiraling up to embrace the skull holding its ritual staff. This fusion of stillness and motion, of bone and blaze, creates a tension that feels alive. Every detail is handcrafted through 3D wax printing, then forged in S925 silver, brass, and red copper with incredible precision. The three-way structure balances the narrative: the eternal stone, the fleeting fire, the enduring scripture.

This bead isn't just a spiritual nod—it's a poetic weapon for daily courage. It speaks of death not with dread, but with resolve—to remind us that to live well is to face mortality and still choose joy, warmth, and grit. It's a talisman for the fearless, a gift of profound meaning, a piece for anyone who seeks to carry both faith and fire. Whether you wear it solo or stack it with a full prayer bead set, the Citipati is your personal monument to resilience and rebirth.
