4. A Quick Tip: Care for It Well, Let It Accompany You Longer Since the Thangka core uses hand-applied natural mineral pigments and the Gau Box is made of delicate materials, a little care goes a long way: Avoid prolonged contact with water or sweat—take it off when bathing or exercising. If it gets dirty, gently wipe it with a clean, soft cloth; never use chemical cleaners. When not wearing it, store it in the included small box to keep dust away. To me, this Zhakilam pendant is no longer just a piece of jewelry—it’s a “tiny window into Tibet.” Every time I see it, I think of Tibet’s blue skies, the prayer flags fluttering at temples, and that unwavering respect for tradition and faith. If you’re looking for jewelry that’s “full of stories and warmth,” this might just be the one for you.
