Ebony mala with rudraksha beads in a silver setting

A powerful mala made of deep black ebony beads with a calm, silky luster—some beads feature brownish flecks of grain that add variety to the dark strand. The mala is finished with a vintage rudraksha fruit, set in a chased silver cap at both ends, with a deep red tassel below; small punched silver beads divide the strand in two places.

The rudraksha fruit has long been used to make prayer beads in India and the Himalayan region and is traditionally associated with Shiva, while the spacer beads make it easier to count the recitations.

The mala is designed without a clasp and can be worn long, doubled, or wrapped around the hand.

The mala is delivered in a silk brocade pouch, which we select to match the color.
