Gemstones and Meanings
GEMSTONES Our beads and amulets are made of high quality semi-precious stones.
SILK Mala necklaces are hand knotted with silk and silk tassels. We use the finest silk thread for several reasons – it increases the integrity of the Mala, it’s durable, and it allows for a beautiful draping effect that can’t be achieved with nylon or cotton. Silk is also highly flexible, making wrist wrapping easier. Most importantly, hand knotting with silk thread spaces beads evenly for mediation, so it’s easier to move your fingers across the beads without interruption of thought or process.
PRECIOUS METALS We use sterling silver and 14k gold fill for all of our spacers and charms – that means no chipping, cracking, or ugly green residue.
TRADITIONAL We also use traditional materials such as rudraksha seed, bayong wood, sandalwood, and rosewood, which are sacred to the art of making Malas.
