This 'Shiva Prayer' Cuff Bracelet by Independent Artisans is a powerful and spiritual accessory from India. Crafted by Ajay Patil, this striking sterling silver cuff is inscribed with the Hindi phrase "OM Namah Shivay," which translates to "I bow down to Shiva." This phrase is a powerful mantra meant to awaken one's inner self and salute the power of the universe. The wide, bold design and the meaningful inscription make this a truly intriguing piece. It's more than just jewelry; it's a personal talisman that serves as a reminder of inner strength and a connection to the universe.
Born in Jaipur in 1975, this silversmith grew up surrounded by gemstones and silver through his father’s bullion business and testing lab. Fascinated by the artistry of visiting jewelers, he apprenticed informally with local artisans, learning design and craftsmanship through observation and experimentation. In 2005, with the support of his family, he founded his own workshop. Today, he works with a close team of five artisans and supports over twenty part-time helpers across nearby villages, providing materials, training, and livelihoods. Known for intricate silverwork set with vibrant gemstones, his pieces balance fine finishing with contemporary appeal. Client feedback remains his greatest source of inspiration, motivating him to create new designs and expand his reach. Having showcased his work at Jaipur’s Gem and Jewelry Fair, he dreams of growing his brand further, while continuing to share employment, stability, and opportunity with his community.
Handcrafted in 0.925 sterling silver with a combination finish. The cuff measures 6 inches long (end to end) x 0.7 inches wide and is adjustable.
