A Rosewood Mala Necklace : A Tale of Tradition and Purpose
This isn't just a Necklace ; it's a handmade talisman, born from the skilled hands of women in Nepal. More than a piece of jewelry, it's a lifeline, with each bracelet supporting a small industry that provides a crucial income for local families.
Crafted from rich, reddish-brown rosewood, each bead is polished to a smooth, warm finish. The design honors tradition, with a continuous loop of beads culminating in a larger guru bead and a delicate, decorative knot—each element a whisper of its spiritual heritage.
Beyond its beauty, this 108 beads, 28” long mala is a spiritual tool for meditation and prayer. Each bead serves as a guide, helping to count mantra recitations, while the rosewood itself is believed to possess protective and healing properties. It's said to attract positive energy, promoting a deep sense of inner peace. This piece is a tangible connection to a rich cultural and spiritual tradition—a constant, silent reminder of one's journey.
