Fair Trade Astamangala Copper Bangle

A fair trade Astamangala copper bangle — handcrafted in copper and brass and engraved with the eight auspicious symbols central to Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

The Astamangala, or “eight auspicious symbols,” appear across Himalayan art and ritual as markers of good fortune and mindful living. Each carries its own meaning — the endless knot for connection, the lotus for clarity, the treasure vase for abundance, the conch for the sound of teaching. Worn as a bangle, these emblems serve as a quiet, everyday reminder of that cultural tradition rather than any promised effect.

At Zur Erde hin, we value these pieces for their craft and cultural roots, working with fair trade makers who carry forward Tibetan metalwork traditions.

Care

Keep the bangle dry — avoid swimming, showering, perfume, and lotions. Copper and brass may darken naturally with wear; wipe gently with a soft cloth. If you prefer the original tone, a gentle polish restores it. Store separately from harder jewelry.

Cultural and symbolic meanings are based on tradition. This bangle is a symbolic accessory and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.
