Silver & 20k Gold Elis with handmade silver chain

The silver & 20k gold elis is a special piece handmade by Balan in the ancient way, with a blowpipe over a fire. These are for protection and fearlessness and are filled with tiny treasures to symbolize the meaning. 

•Turmeric for good health

•Ceremonial ash to represent masculine energy

•Red kumkum powder to represent the feminine energy

•Medicinal wood for good health

•Fishing net to catch bad things that could happen to you

•Elephant tail hair to remove obstacles

After they are made they are blessed in a ceremony by Balan at his family temple and are ready to wear!

They are rare and precious because they only come from this region in India (northern Kerala) and because they are made in the ancient way with a blowpipe over a fire. It’s a dying art that very few people in the world can do. Balan has been doing this since he was 8 more than 70 years. 

Each pendant is completely made by hand and the sizes vary slightly. The chain too is completely made by hand, each one mm link made and soldered with a blowpipe. Very few people in the world are able to do this

The silver & 20k gold pendant is ~ 2.5 cm ~1 inch

handmade silver chain  ~ 46 cm ~18 inches
