Moksha is Sanskrit for liberation. Jayashri drew it from a 1970s brass pendant from San Francisco's free-love era and made it long and thin, a vessel for the words you want to carry: a personal note, a prayer, an affirmation. It can also hold a lock of hair or a small amount of ashes. Each design begins as Jayashri's pen-and-ink drawing before it is modeled and cast.

A vessel for what you write

The story

Moksha is a long, thin amulet drawn from a 1970s brass pendant from San Francisco's free-love era. It is made to carry personal notes, prayers or affirmations, and its streamlined form stands for freedom and liberation.

I drew Moksha from a 1970s brass pendant from San Francisco, from the free-love era, and made it a vessel for the words you want to carry.

Jayashri Triolo, maker

Moksha 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.
Questions

About the Moksha necklace

What can I keep in a Moksha?

A rolled prayer suits a long, slim chamber like this one. A few words written small on thin paper go a long way. It can also hold a mantra, a vow or a note in someone's handwriting.

How do I put a note inside?

Sit at a table in a dry room. Roll the paper tightly around a toothpick, then slide it off and ease it in. Leave room for the cap. Brush any dust or fibers from the opening and the silicone seal, so nothing sits across it. Please don't use tools or glue on the cap. Glue makes the closure permanent. Our guide What you can keep inside an openable necklace has more.

Can a Moksha be part of remembering someone?

Yes. Moksha is a suggested piece on our page Carry Them Close, for anyone living with loss. It offers a simple ritual in three steps, ways to honor someone in your tradition or none, and a card to print and keep with your Kavacha.
