Bodhi
Make your time tangible
More than jewelry, your Bodhi is a living record of your life—growing, evolving, and shining brighter with every moment.
Every mark and shimmer on your Bodhi is a testament to your lived experiences.
Here's how:
Meditation.
In our fast-paced world, every moment matters. Our Bodhi pieces are more than just jewelry—they are companions that grow with you. In the subtle interaction of time, our Bodhi pieces become living testimonies of your journey.
Appreciation.
Starting from the beginning, each piece begins a transformative evolution made by the complex Patina reaction. With each touch, the Bodhi gradually deepens, turning into soft yellow, blooming into a bright golden color, and finally maturing into a rich dark brown. The color change makes the surface smooth and lustrous, capturing every precious moment.
Reflection.
This change reflects the passage of time and is also a personal memory - a witness to your growth, experiences, and unique life story.
