Patri are sacred Hindu amulets, icons of magic and myth, of alchemic and yogic power and talismans of protection. They serve as a tangible connection to the image and its meaning.

Each antique patri we find is unique and carries its own rich history. Though each of these three discs portray Shiva, they all have their own distinct patina and style, highlighted by their select palette of stones. As with all our antiques, when you wear one that speaks to you, you too become part of its journey.

Shiva is known as the “destroyer and transformer”. As one of the supreme deities of the Hindu trinity, he creates, protects and destroys the universe. Regarded as the patron of yoga, meditation and arts he is a force of energy and creative power. Shiva is depicted in many forms but perhaps most famously as the Nataraja, or “Lord of Dance”. His dance is said to mark destruction but also transition from one stage to another.
