The character of Jinwu comes from the meeting of amber, tactile detail and a controlled center.
Product Details
The Wearing Experience
Amber feels notably light for its visual presence, and its color changes as it catches direct or low light on the chest.
The strand is arranged to keep the amber near the center of the chest, where its pattern can be seen without crowding the neckline.
Jinwu and the Design
Jinwu is the sun crow, commonly shown with three legs inside the solar disk. It belongs to a broad ancient complex of solar birds, ten suns, cyclical time, and radiant force.
For this piece, Jinwu is a point of departure rather than a literal motif. The story of the three-legged bird carried across the sky with the sun becomes a study in rhythm, weight and contrast.

Care
For this amber necklace, amber is comparatively soft. Keep it away from perfume, heat, household cleaners and prolonged sunlight; remove before bathing or exercise and wipe only with a soft, dry cloth. Store separately to avoid scratches.
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.
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.
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.
