Hey!
I recently bought a necklace and was wondering about its origin and meaning, I understood that it's from India but not sure if it is and what's the meaning, hope someone can help :) 20210602-131254.webp
 

I think it is a small Vajra. They represent the thunderbolts thrown by gods of India and Tibet. It has a connection to the Vajrayana "school" of Buddhist following and usually associated with Indra - the god of rain.

Welcome to Tnet

'Yes, it is a vajra necklace. The pendant is a miniature symbolic replica of a ritual weapon that has its origins in the Hindu religion of India but has 'spread to other Asiatic religions and countries. It?s worn as a symbol of power and strength. Popular with new agers.
