Product Story & Key Points
💠 “Guardian Yak of the Plateau”
On the windy passes above 4 500 m, the yak carries monks, salt, and barley where no wheel can turn. Tibetans call it nor‑bu—“gem of life.” Masters near Lhasa translate that reverence into this ring: hammering sterling silver, driving molten brass into carved channels (ancient damascene), and setting blood‑red Nanhong agate for eyes that never look away from the climb.

Sculpted Yak Visage | Deep‑relief chiselling captures every fur ridge; nostrils and muzzle are under‑cut for true 3‑D presence. |
Nanhong Agate Eyes | Natural Chinese Nanhong, hand‑cabbed & bezel‑pinned—fiery focus without dyes. |
Damascene Brass Inlay | Lily blossoms and horns are hot‑inlaid brass, then stoned flush; gold‑like gleam that will not flake. |
Adjustable Shank | Hidden extender flexes from US 8‑12; interior sanded smooth, edges round for daily comfort. |
Forged in Nyêmo County | Made start‑to‑finish in a family smithy famed for prayer‑wheel metal, 90 km from Lhasa. |
