Premium Sandalwood & Pure 990 Silver Mala Bracelet

Description

Premium sandalwood and pure silver meet in a mala bracelet designed for the wrist, not the shelf. The bead is present before the day asks anything of you. This is an object with a job: it marks attention, and it keeps count.

Mala bracelets trace their lineage to the counting beads of early Buddhist and Hindu practice, worn as both instrument and record of attention. Sandalwood has been the preferred material in Tibetan and Nepalese practice for over a thousand years: lightweight, fragrant, and considered auspicious in its origin forests of Nepal and India. The silver used here is 990 purity, above sterling, associated with Tibetan ceremonial metalwork and requiring different technique to work than the harder alloys common in jewelry production.

The bracelet is strung on elastic for a clean, single-motion fit. Sandalwood beads measure 8 mm in diameter, turned to a consistent roundness and sanded smooth before stringing. The 990 silver bead that anchors the count sits heavier than the sandalwood: cooler to the touch, and carrying a brushed matte finish that distinguishes it from the warmth of the wood. The complete bracelet weighs approximately 12 grams, perceptible on the wrist but not distracting. It arrives in a cloth drawstring pouch, ready to wear.
