In Thai Buddhist culture, it is common for devotees to rub golden Buddha statues to receive blessings. However, the wear and tear on these figures led monks to develop smaller gold-leaf carvings that retained the spiritual power while offering protection to the original relics. Over time, these carvings were adapted into wearable talismans. This Gems and Jewelry News report explores how MANIKĀ has modernized these sacred items into jewelry designed for continuous wear while preserving their spiritual essence.

Jewelry That Anchors the Spirit and Enhances Daily Life
The collection merges Thai monastic tradition with practical design for today’s lifestyle. Each bracelet and ring is embedded with a 22K gold-leaf core, wrapped in a sleek silver or gold-plated shell, and sealed with a silicone covering to make it waterproof, soundless, and lightweight. The engraved mantras, said to bring love and luck, are discreetly nestled inside the design, allowing the wearer to carry ancient blessings throughout their daily activities.
Raquel Shabot, founder of MANIKĀ, explains, “Our goal is to make spiritual intention a tangible part of daily life. We create each piece with deep respect for Buddhist traditions and aim to make mindfulness as accessible as possible.” She emphasizes that the jewelry is not just decorative—it is meant to act as a spiritual anchor.
