Want to create a custom piece?
Are you thinking of creating a custom piece that aligns directly with you? Here’s a start.
Malas
Your budget.
Some stones lean a little more toward the “precious” side of the “semiprecious” spectrum. This is dependent on the stone’s rarity, its natural formation, or the quality with which it’s constructed. Consider how you want to allocate your wealth when creating a piece. And remember that there is always a stone for any budget.
Your intentions.
What are you hoping to create, focus on, or heal? Each stone has different metaphysical properties, so think about why you want to add a mala to your practice. For a list of stones and properties keep scrolling and see below.
Your aesthetic.
Are there particular colours that you are drawn to? There’s a reason for that, and it’s a good idea to honour those intuitive signals.
Do you want a mala with or without a tassel? Tassels can be symbolic of a connection to your spirit and brushing away any unwanted energies. However, it’s optional to have one. My personal malas do not have tassels.

Bracelets
The stones.
Similar to the malas, think about the type of stones, the intentions, or the colour that you wish for your piece. Remember that though prices vary, there will aways be a stone that is within your budget.
The size.
Please consult the sizing chart below to determine your size. To find your size, measure your wrist with a flexible measuring tape. Or use a piece of string, wrap it around your wrist, and then measure the string.
Please consider that I typically use 8mm stones, and other sizes can be used upon request.
The details.
Do you want any spacers in your bracelet? If so, what colour - gold steel or silver steel?
If there are particular symbols that you wish to incorporate (Buddha heads, lotus, ohm symbol, skull), that can be arranged depending on availability.
Please note that these bracelets are not the ones traditionally used for Japa meditation.
Should you wish for a traditional one, with 27 or 54 stones, please contact us below.
