Khanda Necklace, Double Vajra & Phurba Pendants

A khanda necklace, a vajra pendant, and a phurba pendant each carry a precisely defined ritual weapon form, rendered as wearable jewelry in 925 sterling silver. This collection gathers Noir KĀLA's three most formally exact pendant forms, objects whose structure is documented and follows a defined form within their traditions of origin.

Each form has its own structural logic. The Khanda, the emblem of the Sikh faith, is a composite of three elements: a double-edged sword at the centre, two single-edged kirpans flanking it, and the circular chakkar encircling the whole. The Vajra, from Hindu and Vajrayana Buddhist iconography, is a symmetrical double-headed implement with radial prongs meeting at a central sphere, available in single and crossed double vajra form. The Phurba, a Tibetan ritual dagger, carries a distinctive three-sided blade meeting at a single point beneath a detailed handle.

These are historically documented objects, and Noir KĀLA describes them that way. The meaning each form carries is embedded in its structure, in the Khanda's composite geometry, the Vajra's radial symmetry, the Phurba's triple blade. It is not applied as decoration or claimed as a property of the pendant itself. That anthropological approach is deliberate. These forms deserve accuracy.

Material serves that precision. Every piece is cast in 925 sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% other metals, primarily copper, with the fineness to generally hold radial prongs, blade facets, and layered emblem detail at pendant scale. The alloy is hypoallergenic, and each pendant is handcrafted in small batches through long-standing relationships with skilled makers in Rajasthan, India, where this level of symmetry and proportional control is finished by hand.

Within the broader sword and dagger cluster, these three forms stand apart. They are form-faithful renderings of specific objects. Whether you come to them through cultural connection, design interest, or as a considered gift for someone with either, browse the collection to compare the three forms in detail.

Questions fréquemment posées

The Khanda is the emblem of the Sikh faith, composed of three distinct elements: a double-edged sword at the centre, two single-edged kirpans on either side, and the circular chakkar encircling the whole. A Sikh Khanda necklace in this collection renders the full emblem in miniature with each element clearly defined. Noir KĀLA's Khanda pendants are cast in hypoallergenic 925 sterling silver and produced in small batches through long-standing relationships with skilled makers in Rajasthan, India.

The Vajra is a ritual implement from Hindu and Vajrayana Buddhist iconography, depicted as a symmetrical double-headed form with radial prongs at each end meeting at a central sphere. It appears in both single form and as the crossed double vajra, also called the vishvavajra. A double vajra pendant, sometimes referred to as a vajra dorje pendant, represents indestructibility and the clarity of the awakened state within its traditions. As a pendant in 925 sterling silver, its symmetry makes it a precise, distinctive object.

The Phurba is a Tibetan ritual dagger with a distinctive triple-sided blade, three faces meeting at a central point, beneath a handle that traditionally depicts protective figures. Originating in Vajrayana Buddhist practice, it is among the more formally complex objects in Tibetan metalwork. Rendering it at pendant scale calls for precision casting and careful hand-finishing. Noir KĀLA's Phurba pendant is made from 925 sterling silver and measures 35mm in length.

All three forms are cast in 925 sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% other metals, primarily copper. The alloy generally holds the structural precision each form requires at pendant scale, from the Vajra's radial prongs to the Phurba's triple-sided blade and the Khanda's composite geometry. 925 sterling silver is hypoallergenic, which suits regular close-skin wear. When present, the 925 stamp confirms composition, though smaller pieces may not carry it.

A sword or dagger pendant draws on a broadly shared weapon archetype that leaves room for interpretation. The Khanda, Vajra, and Phurba are different. Each follows a documented formal structure defined within its culture of origin, which the design represents accurately. Shoppers looking for a sword form with general symbolism will find it in the sword pendants and necklaces collection, while those drawn to one of these specific forms will find it here. .
