Our mala beads are made with a range of popular gemstones, each thought to have a unique energizing property: for aventurine, luck. Traditionally, mala beads are used in meditation to count mantras during chanting, but we think they also make fantastic jewelry. These bracelets feature 27 beads and are strung on an elastic cord for free sizing. They are finished with a matching-color tassel tied with gold thread. Due to the natural materials used, the color and size of the beads may vary.
