Kavacha Designs | Sacred Armor™, since 2018
Something of theirs, carried close.
Kavacha Designs | Sacred Armor™ makes amulets in sterling silver that open. For a lock of hair, a handwritten prayer, or a small amount of ashes. A family chooses what goes inside, whether the one they love was buried or cremated.
What can go inside
A lock of hair.
A thread of cloth. From a favorite shirt, a scarf, a wedding veil, a uniform.
A handwritten prayer. Or a few lines they loved.
A name. Their name, their dates or a few words in their own handwriting, on a slip of paper.
Earth or a petal. Soil from a place they loved, or a petal from the service flowers.
A small amount of ashes, for families who choose cremation.
Families place it themselves, at home.

From the maker
“I began this work as a devotional practice. After I lost my husband of 27 years in 2022, it became my life's work where my passion and purpose come together.”
