Mala Necklaces – Malas are often used as jewelry or during a seated meditation. These beautiful necklaces often hold special significance for the bearer based on the energy resonance they feel with the beads.

Traditionally a mala—which means “garland”—has 108 beads strung together and one “guru bead,” which is larger than the rest. The guru bead is used as a place marker for the fingers to feel for the end or the beginning of the necklace for meditation or mantra chanting. Malas are made out of a variety of materials including wood, seeds, stones, pearls, and crystals.
