Mala made from raktu seeds with a handcrafted silver bead, 3 colors

This mala, made of dark brown raktu seeds, exudes character and earthiness; the seeds’ distinctive, black-veined grain gives each bead its own unique character. A finely crafted silver bead with raised vine or cloud motifs serves as the guru bead; below it, small strands of seeds and silver-colored findings are strung on blue cords; the cord is available in various colors.

The raktu or bodhi seed is one of the traditional materials used in Tibetan prayer beads. A mala typically consists of 108 beads and is used as a counting string during recitation.

Handcrafted at Atelier Tibet in Zurich. We ship the mala in an elegant silk brocade pouch, which we select individually to match the color of the mala.

Bead diameter approx. 10 mm · Circumference approx. 84 cm · Raktu seeds, silver · Guru bead handmade in Nepal by a Tibetan silversmith · Made in the Tibet Studio

Brief instructions for measuring wrist size:
Loosely wrap a measuring tape or string around your wrist where you want the bracelet to sit. Make sure that it fits snugly but does not cut in. Read the circumference directly from the measuring tape or measure the length of the cord with a ruler.

Note:
The length of the bracelet may be 1 cm to 3 cm longer than the measured wrist circumference, depending on your taste.

Brief instructions for measuring ring size:

Method 1: Measure the inner diameter of a suitable ring
  • Take a ring that fits well.
  • Place it on a ruler and measure the inside diameter (from one inner edge to the other).
  • Compare the diameter with the table to determine the ring size.
Method 2: Measure the circumference of your finger
  • Take a thin strip of paper or thread.
  • Wrap it around the part of the finger where you want the ring to sit (not too tight).
  • Mark the point where the ends meet.
  • Measure the length of the strip in millimeters. This is the inner circumference.
  • Find the right size in the table.
Tips:
  • Measure the finger size in the evening, as fingers swell slightly during the day.
  • If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size.
  • Make sure that the ring fits over the knuckle.
