This beautiful Lapis mala bead bracelet has been handmade and is from Nepal.
Malas are used for counting mantras, which are short sacred phrases. The beads are often made from seeds, gemstones, or wood, and may have a "guru" bead, tassel, or special knot.
The number of beads on a wrist mala can vary, but it's usually 21 or 54. The number of beads is significant because it represents the number of breaths in a meditation cycle, or the number of times to recite a mantra.
This unique bracelet will make a perfect gift for someone special, or it could just be a little treat for yourself.
