CANGGENG | Mixed Natural Materials Bracelet

$480.00
Size

Canggeng is a study in proportion: mixed natural materials for the main rhythm, with one contrasting detail to interrupt it.

Product Details

  • Core materials: Hand-carved Memento Mori skulls in wood, horn and bone, paired with smooth white bone beads.
  • Hardware & construction: A substantial 18K gold-plated sphere with ruby- and emerald-toned crystal accents, balanced by a dangling red agate skull.

The Wearing Experience

Different materials meet with deliberately different temperatures, weights and surfaces, so the bracelet changes character as it turns on the wrist.

Rather than relying on a clasp, the bracelet uses stretch to keep the mixed natural materials sequence clean and continuous.

Canggeng and the Design

Canggeng is a nine-headed bird preserved in a quotation in a later-preserved fragment of an older illustrated tradition. Later encyclopedias and folklore draw it toward the Nine-Headed Bird or Guiche, but those names carry additional stories not guaranteed by the fragment.

Here the Canggeng story is reduced to its most useful visual cue: a nine-headed bird known through a brief and layered tradition. This particular combination carries the thought through texture and a controlled focal point.

Care

For this mixed natural materials bracelet, because the materials age differently, keep the piece dry and avoid perfume, lotions and household cleaners. Remove before bathing or exercise, wipe gently after wear and store separately to limit abrasion between surfaces.

Slideshow

Black and white close-up of hands holding smooth, polished dark grounding stones, capturing the tactile physical act of using a wearable worry stone for everyday somatic anxiety relief.

Jewelry is experienced not only by sight. The weight of a bead, the cool surface of stone, and the warmth wood gathers from the skin are all part of the piece.

A Jambhala piece is designed to be worn often and touched naturally, keeping its symbol—and the meaning you chose—close at hand.

Slideshow

We choose natural materials for their character, not for perfect uniformity. Grain, color, pattern, and surface will vary from one piece to another.

With wear, wood may deepen in tone, metal finishes may soften, and surfaces may take on subtle traces of touch. These natural changes are part of living with the piece.

THE MEANING IS YOURS

Every Jambhala piece begins with a meaning drawn from an old story. You may choose it for that meaning, for a memory of your own, or simply because you want to wear it. With time and wear, the piece becomes personal.
