The piece opens on the clear quartz, a near-colourless, transparent stone with faint internal veining and small natural inclusions. The second note comes from the smoky quartz: a translucent brown-to-grey quartz, ranging from light smoke to near-black. Physically it is a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone. The piece belongs to Dolma Designs, a series using compassion and quiet courage as contemporary design themes. The mountain motif takes the form of a ridgeline silhouette. High ground recurs throughout this studio’s design language, and the profile is used here as a way of holding a landscape in mind rather than as a claim about where the piece was made.
Each material behaves differently, so it is worth knowing how the parts age before you choose. The clear quartz appears as a transparent, near-colourless stone whose faint internal veining shows through the polish. Against the skin, it holds a clean polish well and hides light handling better than a softer stone would. Smoky Quartz is a different case in wear: it is hard and durable, holding a clean polish through daily wear. The amethyst is a violet quartz, transparent to cloudy, with the even colour strongest in the centre of each bead. Over months of wear, it wears well day to day, though the colour fades under prolonged strong sunlight. Aquamarine — a pale blue-to-green transparent stone, lightly toned rather than saturated. In everyday use, it is a relatively hard stone that holds a clean polish, though long soaking dulls the surface. The moonstone appears as a milky, semi-transparent stone with a soft moving sheen across the surface. Worn against fabric, it is a moderately soft stone with visible internal cleavage, so it prefers careful handling. Inside the piece, the obsidian is a near-black volcanic glass with a deep, mirror-like surface. With regular wear, it takes a very high polish but is more brittle than crystalline stone, so it chips rather than scratches.
Two options are listed, namely “Golden Himalayan Crystal Edition (Custom Engraving)” and “Formless Buddha Edition”. If two options are close, say how you plan to wear the piece and we will say which one suits it better. Courage is offered as a personal reminder rather than a promised outcome. Stone and organic materials are never identical twice: minor variation in tone and figure is part of the material. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.
Care
Avoid prolonged direct sun and household chemicals, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Wipe it dry after wear and avoid household chemicals. Store it out of direct sun and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Keep it away from prolonged water and household chemicals and wipe it dry after wear. Avoid impact and chemicals, and store it separately from harder stones. Avoid impact at edges and store it separately so the polished surface is not marked. Wipe it after wear, store it dry and away from direct sun, and it will need very little else.
