Zen Buddhist Jewelry is a Lovely Gift for Yourself or a Friend

If you are seeking a unique gift item for a friend, consider Zen Buddhist jewelry as an option. Your friend may or may not be spiritually inclined in the Buddhist tradition but will likely appreciate your thoughtful gift. The most common gift ideas in this type of jewelry line include beaded necklaces. Bead can be constructed from a variety of materials including wood and plastic. Frequently, beads will be painted or at least etched with a Buddhist symbol like the Ohm. Beads can be handmade very inexpensively or could cost a lot depending on what type of materials are chosen.



When you choose Zen Buddhist jewelry for yourself or a friend, think about how you intend to have the jewelry used. You can wear it on your body in various places or you can use jewelry as decorative and functional items for packages and other items that you want to add a bit of style and color to. If you are getting jewelry for a friend, consider first whether that friend will want to wear a necklace versus a bracelet and whether he or she will simply want something decorative or will appreciate the spiritual tradition. If you don’t know the answers to these questions, chances are your friend will still appreciate your gift. You might also consider giving a book about Buddhist tradition along with the piece of jewelry.

When you purchase Zen Buddhist jewelry online or in person at retail shops, be sure you are comfortable with the seller’s customer service policies. Ask about what shipping or rebates are available if any, so you can save money. You may want to spend some time reviewing various options you have in jewelry styles before choosing one and realizing you prefer a different design later. If you have a specific design in mind that you can’t easily find, ask jewelry providers about finding your design or about the process to have a piece of jewelry custom-made.



Zen Buddhist jewelry can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages and makes wonderful unique gifts for holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions. There is a lot of jewelry out there that is common and doesn’t inspire conversation or contemplation about life. A unique piece of jewelry in the Zen Buddhist tradition will have the opposite affect and even if it doesn’t cost very much, it can still be a deeply cherished personal item or gift.
