Its color palette is elegantly sophisticated, offering a cool, smooth feel on the wrist with gentle, comforting energy. **This is a one-of-a-kind piece, awaiting its destined owner.** **A New Concept for 108 Mala Bracelets** The traditional view of 108 mala beads being exclusively for Buddhists is quite outdated. While these beads indeed originate from Buddhist scriptures and their length allows them to be wrapped around the wrist multiple times or worn as a necklace, the materials, designs, and decorative uses of 108-bead items have evolved significantly with the times. They are now more fashionable, layered, and versatile, requiring designers to adapt to user preferences and create unique, customized pieces. Furthermore, **108 beads have never been exclusively for Buddhists. Even non-Buddhists can embrace the auspicious meaning of 108 and its potential for multi-layered styling.** We often share with our clients that a 108-bead bracelet is an external object. Regardless of our religious affiliation, chanting sutras, reciting mantras, or praying is primarily an inner practice. We should **not be attached to or hindered by possessions**, nor should we be confined by the material of the bracelet, the number of beads, how to hold it, or whether to wear it on the left or right hand. When handling beads, one should seek convenience and freedom, just as the "Diamond Sutra" states: "All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew drops and lightning flashes. Thus, one should contemplate them thus." Bracelets and mala beads are also phenomena, so one should not be overly concerned with them during use. **Comfort should be the priority.** **The Origin of 108 Mala Beads** The 108 beads represent 108 afflictions. Within the six senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind), there are three types of feelings: pleasure, pain, and indifference. Combined with the three qualities of good, bad, and neutral for each sense, this makes 18. Adding the three time dimensions of past, present, and future results in 108. The 108 afflictions signify that sentient beings have 108 types of afflictions, which can give rise to various negative karma. Therefore, one must eradicate these 108 afflictions to achieve a state of tranquility in body and mind. Wearing mala beads serves as a constant reminder to cultivate the compassion of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, maintaining a calm, unhurried, and spacious state of mind in any environment. In Tibetan, mala beads are called "trengwa," meaning "to remember," "to think of," or "to recall," and also implies continuity. It represents the continuous remembrance of gurus, deities, dakinis, and dharma protectors; it also signifies that gurus, deities, dakinis, and dharma protectors continuously bestow their grace upon us, granting accomplishments and wisdom. **Amethyst** Its name originates from the ancient Greek words "a-" (not) and "methustos" (drunk), as it was believed that amethyst could protect its wearer from intoxication. Ancient Greeks wore amethyst and used it to craft wine vessels. Over time, amethyst came to be believed to enhance wisdom. Lavender amethyst (Lavender Amethyst) has a more delicate and elegant purple hue, representing higher levels of spiritual and mental love. The frequency of purple corresponds to the crown chakra, possessing calming and soothing properties. Its pure, fine, and dense energy feels like a gentle breeze. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Lavender Amethyst (light purple), Uruguayan Amethyst (deep purple), Blue Lace Agate, 925 Silver Size: Bead diameter 8mm.

Natural gemstones possess natural luster and unique textures (such as tiny black spots, internal lines, ice cracks, cloudiness, mineral inclusions, and asymmetry). With frequent wear, you may observe subtle color changes in natural gemstones, often appearing more translucent and captivating—this is the best form of care. For natural organic gemstones (like coral and amber), which have low hardness and are sensitive to acids and alkalis, avoid using detergents when cleaning. Simply rinse with clean water and wipe with a soft cloth. You may also use a soft brush dipped in a small amount of mineral oil (like baby oil) for gentle care. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, but avoid external damage or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 3. Fabric components (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable to the touch, with a long lifespan. Avoid high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 4. For jewelry of any material, when soiled, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in clean water as appropriate, or use a moderate amount of neutral detergent for suitable materials. After washing, ensure it is dried promptly. 5. When removing jewelry, store it properly in packaging to minimize exposure to air, which can slow down oxidation and discoloration.
