Mala necklaces make a fashion statement with Bohemian style and flair. Mala necklaces have 108 beads that are used for mindful spirituality. Our mala necklaces are hand-strung using semi-precious gemstones and there is a knot between each bead.The knot has two purposes. When used as a meditation tool, it gives you space between the beads to move your fingers as you go through your 108 repetitions of your mantra.
This handknotting between the beads also ensures if for some reason you broke your necklace the beads will not all come tumbling off the string.
