Wrist Mala - Tibetan Prayer Bracelet

Wrist Mala - Tibetan Prayer Bracelet

The most common malas usually have 108 beads, but there are also shorter malas, such as those with 18 beads. These shorter malas are sometimes used for shorter meditations or for specific practices.
In some traditions the 18 beads would represent the 18 disciples of Buddha the 18  arahants.

As a gemologist graduated from the National Institute of Gemmology in Paris, all our materials are appraised and certified.

As Malakara, we make all of our malas ourselves, scrupulously respecting tradition.
