Bounded by the white-capped Himalayas and the Kunlan Shan, the land of Tibet is topographically isolated from the rest of the world. For centuries outsiders were few and far between. Buddist monks, led by the Dalai lamas, devoted themselves to matters of spirit, literally looking down on the world from the mountaintops. This curious blend of religious sophistication and geographical remotemess gave rise to a mythology - Tibet was a forbidden land, an exotic kingdom in the clouds, the presumed location of the fabled Shangri-La - a land of dreams.
Tibetan coinage is quite scarce. The first local mint did not open until 1791, only to close two years later. Tibet did not issue its own coins again until 1836, and continued to do so in small mintages until 1950, when the country was taken over bt the People's Republic of China.

Awesome store and staff! I have been buying jewelry from them since 1975. They have a fabulous selection and really great prices. Their sealife selection is the best around. I love to peek into their Estate cases when I visit. I always find a treasure to bring home.

The Cedar Chest carries very beautiful, unique jewelry of the highest quality. I have made many purchases over the years, both in the store and online, and I've always been more than happy with the pieces I've chosen. My most recent purchase was online. I trust them completely. I ordered a medium size rose-gold periwinkle earring and pendant set with a diamond in the centers. They are so beautiful. I want to wear them always! Shelley handled my order with care. She was wonderful. Thanks again, Shelley!
