Tara collection
This collection is based on Tara — the Buddhist goddess of compassion, protection, and fearless action. Her name means “Saviouress.” She is one of the most widely revered deities in Tibetan Buddhism and is considered a female Buddha in her own right.
One origin story says she was born from Avalokiteśvara’s tears. As he wept for the suffering he saw in the world, from his fallen tears a lotus emerged, and from it, Tara appeared — a being devoted to relieving suffering.
Tara has 21 traditional forms, each with its own colour, posture, and energy. Her mantra is one of the most widely recited in the world.
Over time, Tara became associated with earlier Hindu goddesses. In Tantric traditions, she is considered a form of Kali, Durga, and Parvati — sharing their fierce compassion and motherly strength.
This collection focuses on her form Moonlit White Tara. She is peaceful and associated with clarity, healing, and longevity. In iconography, she has:
Three faces, representing the past, present, and future
Seven eyes — one on each hand and foot, plus one on her forehead — allowing her to perceive suffering in all realms
Twelve arms, holding ten sacred objects: a vajra, bell, lotus, jewel, treasure vase, book, dharma wheel, water flask, flower garland, and skull staff — each carrying a specific power for protection, wisdom, and renewal
In Tibetan tradition, anything made in Tara’s image is considered blessed. It does not require formal consecration. Her presence is believed to be carried through the object itself.
Each piece in this collection carries her likeness — not as ornament, but as a quiet companion, made to protect, support, and inspire.

“There are many who desire enlightenment in a man’s body, but none who work for the benefit of sentient beings in the body of a woman. Therefore, until samsara is empty, I shall work for the benefit of sentient beings in a woman’s body.” - Tara
