Metallic Belt
A prayer in polished steel – this belt captures the sacred geometry of a Bodhi leaf frozen in artisan metalwork. Imagine a Buddhist monk's meditation rendered in forged Nepalese iron, where every vein tells an ancient story.
The Spiritual Mechanics:
▸ Sacred Symmetry – Each leaf link patterned after actual Himalayan foliage, with veins hand-chased by Kathmandu metalsmiths
▸ Singing Metal – Specially alloyed to produce a subtle chime like temple bells when moving
▸ Oxidized Devotion – Darkened recesses create depth like shadow between mountain peaks
Wear Your Mantra:
✔ Over raw silk kurta (modern sadhu elegance)
✔ With linen safari jacket (colonial explorer redeemed)
✔ As a waist chain over hemp trousers (earth and metal reconciled)
The Living Patina:
• Monsoon Silver (rain-washed shine)
• Gurkha Black (blued steel honoring warriors)
• Saffron Gold (fire-gilded edges like monastery roofs)
"What the mountain lets go, the valley wears."
Pair With:
-
Handmade paper collar beads
-
A single tiger's eye stone
-
The quiet confidence of peaks at dawn
