[Baby's Peace Bracelet Series] Natural Aroma Indian Sandalwood 6mm 18 Beads

Sandalwood has been cherished for centuries, a prominent commodity along ancient trade routes from India to Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Many historic temples and the furniture within them were fashioned from this precious wood. Carvings made from sandalwood are exceptionally rare, filling homes with their enduring fragrance. It was also cut into small pieces and placed in cabinets to scent clothing, imparting a subtle, natural perfume—an ancient, sophisticated "natural freshener" for garments. However, following the rise of Buddhism from the Sui and Tang dynasties onward, many began crafting sandalwood into prayer beads. This served a dual purpose: offering protection and peace, while simultaneously allowing the wearer to carry the soothing scent of sandalwood, akin to a sachet—truly a practical and meaningful adornment! Our aged sandalwood is matured for over twenty years, allowing its fragrance to become exceptionally warm, mellow, and pure—the pinnacle of sandalwood. Its rich oil content ensures a long-lasting aroma. Only now is it meticulously shaped into beads, resulting in a highly aromatic and aesthetically pleasing piece.
