This handsome handcrafted bracelet combines traditional Eastern medicine with one of the most significant mantras in Buddhism for an accent that is as meaningful as it is beautiful. Saying, or even reading, the words Om mani padme hum is believed to invoke the Buddha of Compassion, called Avalokitesvara in Sanskrit or Chenrezig in Tibetan. Some traditions within Eastern medicine use copper and brass for their purported power to alleviate arthritis and increase circulation. These two beliefs intertwine in a hand-hammered copper, brass, and white metal cuff. The Tibetan script for Om mani padme hum is overlaid on the face of the bracelet.
Please note: This item contains nickel and is not recommended for anyone with sensitivity to nickel.

Sturdy, beautifully handcrafted! Copper and brass nice weight, warm feel. Pleasing look and tangible reminder to practice Om Mani Padmi Hum. Thank you!
I love this little bracelet. Based on the catalog description, I was concerned that it might be too small for my wrist, but the size is fine, and it is flexible enough so that it can be gently bent to fit. I like it enough so that I am buying one for my daughter. My one caveat: the differences between the colors of the characters making up the mantra are not as distinct and bright as they appear in the photograph.
A stunning and well made bracelet. My husband is very happy with this wonderful bracelet and is of excellent quality. Very fast shipment also.
Thank you!
This bracelet is staying on my wrist--I usually get tired of one and change them often. But the design and fit of this one makes it part of my body. For anyone who might be on the fence about the jewelry from Novica, buy it!
I love the bracelet and all it symbolizes. I wear it to help calm me, quietly and/or silently repeating Om mani padme hum whenever I can. I had thought originally that the cuff would soften due to putting it on and taking it off, for I have to gently open it a bit and then slide it over my wrist. But, No Worries! I cannot say enough good things about this bracelet. My thanks to the artisan who made it, obviously with love! My love goes back to you!
It is a nice bracelet for the price. It is not finished as nice as the one Novica has pictured and the emblems at each end are different than pictured.
I like the bracelet. It looks good at a distance, not so up close.

wearing looks nice at a distance not so nice up close.
This was crafted with attention to detail and a love of what the person does.
As an artisan myself I am happy to support other artisans through Novica.
Lovely and well made bracelet as expected. Am sure the THREE dear people—2 friends and my daughter— for whom I purchased one each will love it. Only disappointment: THREE bracelets, each one a gift, all three were placed in ONE gift bag with ONE gift enclosure. The order form gives no hint that one needs to also order additional gift bags, choice of boxnor bag only, not quantity. Expected each gift bracelet would have gift bag and enclosure as advertised. How can such mishap be prevented in future? maybe it’s shipping charges needing adjustment due to quantity?
We in the western world think of life as being logical either/or. But in reality its not it is both/and or paralogical. So is this great bracelet beautifully done with simple materials representing the paralogical of life. We think of our souls being god as separate entities but through meditation discover the great observer within.
"Purchased 3 bracelets .. only received one to date"
Quality is great but ... Item is very nice but I was under the impression that this bracelet was to be sent gift ready in a box or gift bag. It was not! The bracelet was sent in a clear plastic bag, the gift card was included but no box or gift bag. Now I must try and find a box or bag to make such a lovely piece of jewelry presentable.
I got this for my bf who wanted copper for it's healing properties. he adores this and the picture does not do justice on the quality and intricate detail well done

"Not Tibetan Script!"
The bracelet is lovely but it is NOT Tibetan script. It is Sanscrit. So this is quite misleading.
I like cuffs because I have a larger hand and have trouble getting bangles on. But no problems with cuff including this beauty. Love the symbolism and the mixture of the different metals. I love to wear and mix my metals so, this was right up my alley. Very nicely done. I'm pleased and would recommend.
I love this bracelet! As soon as I put it on, it made me smile and feel peaceful. Its just as it appears in the photo. It is well made and beautifully designed. I will wear it everyday!
I just received my bracelet and I love it. The detail is so wonderful. I'm going to wear this all the time. Thank you for your work. Buy one you won't be sorry.
I was so happy to find this bracelet online. I had a fine ordering experience (no problems). Received it in the mail very fast. I had a bracelet like this years ago, really liked it. Wore it for years and it finally broke. Was quite happy to finally find a replacement.
I initially bought this bracelet for my son for Xmas. I myself really do like the look of this bracelet and may order another one and keep this one for me.
I love that this is a Tibetan mantra and I love that it is made in Nepal. The fact that all the materials come from the earth makes me feel very connected to nature. I enjoy thinking of the hands of the artist handling this very item that I'm wearing--it makes me feel connected to a friend halfway around the world as well.
This bracelet is beautiful, it`s now one of my favorite piece of jewelry i own. I`m so happy i ordered it.It`s in great condition, came in my mail fast. I love it. Thank you very much NOVICA and NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, i will be ordering again soon.
I got this for my boyfriend (26 years!), who believes copper alleviates joint pain, and we are both dazzled by it's beauty and craftmanship..can't imagine anyone not loving it!
I wanted a copper bracelet to help my hand problems. What I received was remarkable, with spiritual undertones. I really, really like this bracelet. As retired Christian clergy, I appreciate the spiritual, and as a discerning human being, I celebrate the creative workmanship. This bracelet is, for sure, a work of art.
I have tried to find a well made copper bracelet for awhile. I was elated to find this one. It actually shines more than the picture. I got two and wear them almost every day.
This is a bracelet that will be noticed! It is different, but in a good way! I like everything about it, except for the fact that it bends easily. I guess I expected it to be a little sturdier, so I will have to be careful when I wear it. Other than that, I am very pleased!
This bracelet is just amazing??I absolutely am so grateful for Novica and all the beautiful artisans that craft all the beautiful treasures I have purchased through the years??
With love and light

?amaste ????????

This bracelet is absolutely beautiful and can be worn by men as well as women. I purchased it for the unique design and for the copper content (for my arthritis). I wear it all the time and get comments on its beauty every day. I am very happy with this purchase.
This is a nice bracelet. I didn't expect it to be robust or heavy and it isn't. However the writing and crests are attached on very poorly. I was wearing it (very light use) and the lettering and crests started falling off in less than two days. I didn't shower with it on or scuff it. I think it is just poorly made.
Quel beau bracelet qui a des ' pouvoirs ' sur ma sant?: dimiue les douleurs arthritiques, maux de dos violents, contre l'arthrose, enfin, qui aide ? soulager tous ces maux !!! Est-ce que cela fonctionne ??? Je crois bien que oui mais je pourrai en reparler plus longuement apr?s quelques temps que je le porterai !!!
