our knotted and braided malas™ are a new and completely original design that uses 6mm and 8mm beads with comfortable spacing between each bead for easy meditation. please bear in mind that it's very difficult to capture the unique and antique look of each one of these pieces through photographs. they are absolutely stunning in person. each piece is made with fair trade gemstones and pendants from all over the world, and Czech crystal which is also fair trade. each of these stunning malas comes with a gemstone card (if I have it in stock) and a beautiful tibetan brocade mala bag.

ganesha is one of the most widely known and worshipped deities in the hindu tradition. he is revered as the remover of obstacles and more generally as the lord of beginnings, patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom.

garnet is often associated with love, passion, and fire. it is a stone of faith, devotion, stability, and trust, and is said to balance the emotions. it has been used to soothe emotional stress and anger that is held in and is not expressed. it encourages an inner strength and personal power, which increases success, a positive attitude, and sparks the energies of creativity. it is known in indian mythology for persistence, stamina, and energizing the fire of kundalini, which is the eternal force that activates the chakras and begins the path to awakening and enlightenment. it is said to release bad karma, negative energy from the chakras, bring stability and order from chaos, and is associated with the root and heart chakras.

water sapphire (also known as iolite), is considered to be one of the best stones for meditation and spiritual growth. it stimulates the third eye, throat, and crown chakras, intuition, visualization, and growth in a gentle fashion. it also supports communication and relationships of all kinds.

black moonstone is actually black labradorite and has been used for general protection, especially when traveling. it is said to be cleansing, removing negative energies, as well as providing patience, promoting positive energy flow, and balancing relationships. it stills and focuses the mind for meditation, increases the intellect, stimulates creativity, deepens wisdom, and brings wealth and abundance. It is said to help connect with the higher self, helps to achieve goals, enhances clarity of thought, and stimulates youthfulness and vitality.
