Silver jewellery marker

In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the jewel is a deeply meaningful symbol representing enlightenment, wisdom, and supreme compassion. Known as “Cintamani” or the “Wish-Granting Jewel,” this symbol transcends its material value to become a spiritual metaphor for the Buddha nature inherent in all beings. The jewel symbolizes the ability to transform worldly sufferings and desires into spiritual understanding, just as a pure, luminous gemstone can transform ordinary desires into transcendental realizations. In many iconographic representations, especially in the figure of Avalokiteshvara (the Bodhisattva of Compassion), the jewel represents the power of universal compassion and wisdom that can free all beings from the cycle of suffering, shining with a radiance that dispels the darkness of ignorance and guides toward spiritual awakening.
