A talisman of playful ferocity and refined craft, the SHAMBALLA® Necklace centers the Laughing Skull Phurpa pendant—its sculptural profile rendered in 18K rose gold veiled with black rhodium for depth and definition. Warm brown gemstones meet inky onyx and a cool flash of blue matte ceramic, creating a layered palette that moves from shadow to glow. Hand-braided on a Dusty Brown string, the composition feels grounded and modern—equally striking worn solo or as the anchor of a layered story.

Materials

Laughing Skull Phurpa Pendant
The icon of the piece, sculpted in rose gold and finished with a dark rhodium patina to sharpen contours. Brown and black diamonds are precision-set to trace the features of the skull and blade, lending nuanced sparkle and an expressive, talismanic character.

Solid Faceted Brown Diamond
A singular, faceted brown diamond adds concentrated warmth and dimensional fire. Its cognac tone harmonizes with the rose gold beneath the rhodium finish, deepening the necklace’s chromatic balance.

Brown Sapphires
Rich, earthy sapphires extend the warm spectrum with subtle tonal shifts, enhancing the pendant’s glow while preserving the composition’s refined restraint.

Blue Matte Ceramic
Cool, matte-finished ceramic beads introduce a contemporary counterpoint. Their velvety surface tempers the brilliance of the gemstones, adding texture and modern edge.

Onyx
Polished black onyx beads provide a clean, grounding rhythm along the strand, amplifying contrast and sharpening the necklace’s silhouette.

Dusty Brown Braided String
A durable, hand-braided string chosen for long-wear comfort and strength. Its Dusty Brown tone is a colorway—not a metal—selected to echo the warmth of the gemstones and the depth of the rhodium finish.
