Cool, deep-green beads at the wrist: this green jade mala bracelet is both jewellery and a quiet companion for meditation. Its 21 beads sit on an elastic cord that slips easily onto most wrists.
Green jade
This jade comes from the Xinyi region of China and naturally occurs in every shade of green. It is a dense, softly glowing stone, prized for thousands of years across Eastern cultures. Tradition links it to the heart chakra and knows it as a stone of peace, inner stability, friendship and good fortune. These are traditional meanings, not health claims.
What is a mala?
A mala was originally a Hindu and Buddhist tool for prayer and meditation, used to count mantras. A mantra is a string of words, often from Sanskrit, repeated by tradition 21 or 108 times. As they are repeated, attention rests on the meaning and vibration of the words, while thoughts settle and the body relaxes. Today a mala is also worn as an accessory.
Wearing and care
As a natural stone, every bead has its own shade and pattern. Keep it away from water, perfume and cosmetics, and wipe it clean with a soft cloth. Being a handmade natural piece, small variations make each one unique.
