Kavacha is Sanskrit for spiritual armor: each Kavacha is a prayer amulet with a private chamber inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJayashri was inspired by the silver jewelry made by Jewish silversmiths in Northern Yemen, near the Saudi Arabian border, often worked in filigree and granulation. Brides wore it from their wedding day until their death, usually hidden beneath wraps and scarves. The Yemen Wedding Kavacha pays modern tribute to that custom as a piece that does not need to be concealed; it remains one of Jayashri's favorite designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it holds\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe amulet opens to a private inner chamber with a gasketed closure. It can hold a written prayer, a lock of hair, a small amount of ashes or another small keepsake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling silver (925)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lab-grown diamonds (stone count being confirmed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 40 mm × 8.7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 16.05 g, including chain and clasp (factory specification)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 mm rolo chain, 20 in at full length (factory specification 16 + 2 + 2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClasp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallmark:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kavacha hallmark and a branded K tag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEdition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the sterling silver edition, ready to ship within 2 business days.

She draws each design by hand in pen and ink; her longtime caster's team builds the 3D model from the drawing, and she reviews it for scale and fidelity before casting. Each piece is cast from its own single 3D print, one print, one cast, rather than pulled from a reusable mold, so no two pieces are dimensionally identical. Weights and dimensions are nominal and vary slightly from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce 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. Water resistance has not been tested, so do not treat the piece as watertight. Contact Kavacha before filling it for guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kavacha Designs","offers":[{"title":"Sterling Silver","offer_id":40916904411233,"sku":"KD034SS","price":640.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2268\/2497\/files\/yemen-wedding-sterling-silver-hero.png?v=1790100510","url":"https:\/\/kavachadesigns.com\/products\/yemen-wedding-openable-heirloom-amulet-necklace-in-sterling-silver","provider":"kavachadesigns.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
