Product Description
 
This Mala pairs AAA grade citrine with copal amber across 108 beads. Citrine, the stone Roman priests wore on their hands, and copal, the resin Aztec priests burned in ceremony, counted together in a form rooted in Indian and Tibetan contemplative practice. Three civilisations. One object.
 
The beads are strung on olive green woven silk from a house with over 150 years of heritage. The piece includes a ten millimetre sterling silver Chinese Fu Guru bead and a discreet 925 sterling silver screw clasp allowing the Mala to be worn in three configurations.
