The intention behind this Mala was one of love, caring, calm and warmth. I think it exudes those qualities and more. Despite the use of brightly coloured stones this Mala is deliberately pared back through the use of a peachy cream knotting cord and careful selection and placement of light pastel tones interspersed with the brighter colours. I do hope you like it. There is a front and a back and this is a one of kind piece, knotted by hand by me.
I discovered the relaxation of creating hand knotted pieces during our (New Zealand) lockdown and decided to share these special creations with my customers in the hope that you will fall in love with them as I have.
Mālā have been used for years as prayer necklaces The term mālā is the Sanskrit word for “meditation garland.” They were originally used for a special style of meditation called Japa, which means, “to recite.” ... Mālā can be used as a tool to help the mind focus on meditation, or count mantras in sets of 108 repetitions, but can also be enjoyed as a piece of jewellery.
I have spared no expense when making these seeking the best quality beads as I believe they are a very special piece that should be enjoyed for years to come. However natural stones do come with natural imperfections that cannot be avoided, I believe the add to the piece, please keep this in mind when ordering. Due to this Mala featuring a relatively heavy point I have double knotted it at the base (where the point is) to ensure the point stays in place. This is not visible from the front, but is visible from the back.
Due to the nature of the stones - each one of these mālā will be unique and handcrafted with love and attention to detail. I do hope you enjoy these special pieces as much as I have making them.

Bracelet Sizing
I recommend you select a size that is 1-1.5cm larger than your actual wrist size to allow a little movement. As these bracelets are elasticised it is not recommended that you wear them taut as it strains the elastic and may be uncomfortable on your wrist, nor too loose that it will catch on things.
Mala Sizing
Wristocracy Mala are strung from 108 x 8mm beads unless otherwise stated. They can be finished with your choice of tassel, crystal piece (yours or ours with drilling an extra cost if needed). Mala can also be finished infinity style as in the rainbow style.
Caring for your Wristocracy:
Like with all my jewellery I do recommend you take bracelets off before entering water. Frequent exposure to water and cologne can damage the beads.
Some gemstones are water or photosensitive. This means long periods of water or sun exposure may erode or fade the stone - so it is best to keep this in mind when wearing or storing the jewellery.
Safety
Bracelets are intended for adult wear only. Please keep beads away from animals and small children and ingestion may cause harm.
Gemstones are beautiful to look at, but make no mistake - they should never be ingested. If your bracelet or necklace breaks, collect all the stones and put them in a safe place and contact the maker to remake (if possible). I will remake my pieces only. Please note there is a small charge for re-making and if extra beads are required I may charge a little bit for those also.
Most minerals are safe to wear or handle normally, however if the polish on your gemstone starts to breakdown you need to consider replacing the stones.
