You spoke, we listened!

How a customer gave us a great variation.

Michelle B. from Alexandria, VA suggested we try something different with our Buddhist wrist malas. The tassel on the mala can sometimes be ticklish if not downright bothersome. So we tried putting a knot and we tried putting nothing at all. Well, having nothing at all won out and we even reinforced the material used to string the beads. Thanks Michelle!!

use for prayer, meditation or for contemplation

This traditional quarter Mala has 27 amber beads that are 7mm in diameter. The guru bead is a Bod-hi seed that is about 10 mm in diameter. The B-grade amber beads are hand-cut and shaped. They have slight inclusions and are transparent to semi-transparent.

Strung on a silk cord for durability, this Mala is actually one quarter of the standard 108 bead Mala. This mala will fit a wrist 7 inches around but is normally held in the hand, kept in a pouch or kept in a pocket. The silk cord is not intended to stretch.

Amber is the fossilized sap from ancient trees. Amber represents internal balance.

Included is an embroidered silk pouch imported from the Kathmandu valley of Nepal. We purchase these pouches to help support the women and children in the valley.

Comes with a traditional gold or red cotton tassel with 108 individual strands, or you may choose to have no tassel. This quarter Mala is hand-made in the USA.
