Sterling Silver Mi Di Ch’a Ch’a Ga’u Locket Pendant – Tibetan Vintage Oxidized Amulet

Description

Rooted in centuries of Himalayan devotion, this S925 sterling silver Mi Di Ch’a Ch’a Ga’u Box Pendant pays homage to the spiritual craftsmanship of the Tibetan plateau. The term “Ch’a Ch’a” originated from an ancient North Indian dialect meaning “to replicate” — referring to clay or mold-made miniature stupas once used to preserve sacred symbols of faith.

This unique design traces back to Mi Di Jangna Pandita, a revered teacher who, according to Tibetan tradition, created this form of stupa pendant to honor his mother and guide her spirit toward peace. The upper part features eight miniature stupas representing the path to enlightenment, while the base includes the Phurba motif — a symbol of uniting wisdom and compassion. Each pendant can be opened to hold a small relic or bead, continuing the lineage of wearable blessings that have protected travelers and seekers for centuries.
