Amethyst mala with a hand-forged silver bead

An elegant mala made of 108 deep violet amethyst beads that shimmer in shades ranging from light lavender to rich purple. Two finely engraved silver beads divide the strand, which is topped by a large, openwork silver bead above a violet cotton tassel. In the Tibetan tradition, the mala is used to keep count during recitations; the 108 beads make up a full cycle, and the large bead marks its beginning and end. The strand is threaded continuously, without a clasp, and is worn over the head. We deliver the mala in an elegant silk brocade pouch, which we select individually to match the color of the mala. 108 beads · Bead diameter 8 mm · Silver bead 16 mm · Circumference 84 cm · Amethyst, silver, cotton · Silver bead handcrafted in Nepal · Handcrafted in the Tibet studio
