Capsule is a small cylinder with clean, straight lines, made to be worn every day and handed down through generations. Inside is a private chamber for a written prayer, a lock of hair or a small amount of ashes, worn close to the heart. Each design begins as Jayashri's pen-and-ink drawing before it is modeled and cast.

The story

The Capsule Kavacha is a compact, cylindrical amulet with clean, straight lines, sized for everyday wear and made to be passed down through generations.

I start with a storyboard, a pen-and-ink drawing of my own design, inspired by pieces I have collected for over forty years from all over the world.

Jayashri Triolo, maker

Capsule Small is built to be handed down because of what it is made from, the ritual and love poured into it, and because it is worn. A Kavacha is not only a beautiful piece of jewelry; it is an altarpiece for your body, your temple.

Care

Sterling silver naturally develops a patina and may tarnish over time. This is normal. To restore its shine, gently wipe the exterior with a soft silver polishing cloth. For additional cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Wipe clean and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Please do not use silver dips, which can damage the finish and should never be used on a piece with a hollow chamber.

Remove your Kavacha before swimming, bathing, hot tubs or saunas, or using strong chemicals, and put on perfume, lotion and sunscreen first. Water resistance has not been tested, so do not treat the piece as watertight. Keep the chamber and anything inside it completely dry, and twist the cap closed by hand until the silicone seal fits snug. Once ashes or another irreplaceable trace are inside, the piece is not meant to be opened and closed casually or repeatedly, although it can be reopened when necessary. Contact Kavacha Designs | Sacred Armor™ before filling it for guidance. Full care guide: Caring for Your Kavacha.
