Symbols on Buddhist jewelry and their meaning
The head, hands or body of Buddha
The image of Buddha is arguably the most recognizable Buddhist symbol. This makes it a popular choice when buddha jewelry is being made. When buying jewelry with this symbol though, it is recommended that you get jewelry with his full image and not just the head or hands.
The symbol of Buddha is a reminder to live as he lived his life and adopt traits like patience, kindness, and abhorrence of violence. The full body of Buddha represents Buddha and the call for the world to witness his enlightenment.
This symbol can be worn every day and comes in different forms of jewelry.

This flower is also a reminder that we should adopt traits like kindness, growth, and contentment.

The Bodhi tree
This is the tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment. The jewelry with this symbol represents enlightenment and the benefits that accompany it. It is an ideal item for all followers of the Buddhist doctrine.
Wheel of Dharma
This is another popular Buddhist symbol. It is used to remind wearers of jewelry with this symbol to remember and adhere to Buddha’s teachings especially the Eight-fold path. It is a reminder of how Buddhists should speak and the right way they should live.

It also symbolizes the fact that every person is interconnected to another and one individual cannot live as an island.

Om Mani Padme Hung
Many pieces of jewelry have been inscribed with these Sanskrit writings. Usually available in a long rectangle pendant, a bracelet or ring, this jewelry is a symbol of compassion. It is a reminder that you should always feel compassion and kindness for others, If you can read Sanskrit, you can also recite the mantra or meditate with it.
Other
Mala: This refers to long prayer beads that are held during prayer. While they are Buddhist jewelry, it is important to know that they are also used by people of different religions. Buddhists use the beads to count while reciting their mantra.
Meditating with them can help to intensify your connection between your mind, body, and soul.
Buddhism, Jewelry, and Materialism
One of the many teachings of Buddha was the division of the enlightened man from possessions. This makes one wonder, ‘does Buddhist jewelry count as a material possession and vanity?’. The answer is no.
When you wear normal jewelry, it may be for the style, value, trend, etc. However, Buddhist jewelry is worn for what it represents and the symbol on them.
The key to maintaining the detachment from material possession while using it is to accept that the jewelry is just an item but the message it has and its spiritual value is the important part.
Who can wear it?
Anybody, Buddhist jewelry has become increasingly common among people who do not believe the Buddhist doctrine. However, this jewelry is of more benefit to people who believe in the teachings of Buddha and are trying to apply them in their lives.
As a whole, it reflects the temporary state of material possessions. With continued use, this jewelry will become less beautiful or may even be lost. This reminds the wearers of the cycle of life where material possessions will eventually lose value or be lost.
