Premium Larimar Moonstone Lotus Shell Pearl Wisdom 108 Bracelet Prayer Beads 6.5mm One of a Kind

**◈ What the Designer Says** Carefully selected 2 types of "treasures from the deep sea" - Larimar and Shell Pearls, along with "the third eye gemstone of spirituality" - Moonstone. The Larimar is a top-grade variety, highly "jade-like" throughout, with beautiful oceanic patterns and a dreamy blue iridescence. The main pendant, Moonstone, is warm and radiant, shimmering with high blue light on both sides, intricately carved into a "Lotus (symbolizing purity and nobility)," carrying auspicious meanings. Shell Pearls adorn the chain, exuding a "warm, understated, luxurious, and noble" feel. The overall "white and blue palette" is elegantly beautiful and grand, feeling cool and smooth to the touch, with a pure and comfortable energy. It is a masterpiece of spirituality and wisdom. **One of a kind, awaiting its spiritually wise owner ^^** **A New Concept for 108 Bead Bracelets** In traditional views, 108 bead bracelets were only for Buddhists, which is quite outdated :p. While 108 bead bracelets indeed originate from Buddhist scriptures and their length allows for multiple wraps around the wrist or to be worn as a necklace, today's materials, designs, and decorative uses have evolved with the times. They are more fashionable, layered, and versatile, requiring designers to adapt to user preferences and create unique custom pieces. Furthermore, **108 has never been exclusive to Buddhists. Even non-Buddhists can embrace the auspicious meaning of 108 and its layered styling potential.** We often share with clients that a 108 bracelet is an external object. Whether we are Buddhist or not, chanting or praying is primarily an inner practice. **We should not be bound by or obstructed by material possessions, nor confined by the material, count, method of handling, or hand placement of a bracelet.** When using 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 should they be contemplated." Bracelets and prayer beads are also phenomena, so one should not be overly concerned with them during use; **everything should be comfortable.** **The Origin of 108 Prayer Beads** 108 prayer beads represent 108 kinds of afflictions. The six sense organs of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind each experience pleasure, pain, or neutrality. Within the six organs, there are also good, bad, and neutral perceptions, totaling 18. Combined with the past, present, and future, this amounts to 36. Finally, adding the three times – past, present, and future – results in 108. The 108 afflictions signify the myriad troubles that sentient beings face, which can give rise to various negative karma. Therefore, they must be eradicated to achieve a state of tranquility. Wearing prayer beads serves as a constant reminder to cultivate the compassion of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, maintaining a calm and composed mindset in any environment. In Tibetan, prayer beads are called "trung-wa," meaning remembrance, recollection, or continuous remembrance. They symbolize the constant remembrance of gurus, yidams, dakinis, and dharma protectors, as well as their continuous grace upon us, bestowing siddhis and wisdom. **Larimar** Larimar is a recently discovered gemstone, found only in the Dominican Republic, where it is the national stone and is extremely rare. Legend has it that a Dominican gem merchant named this emerging gemstone by combining his daughter's name, "Lari," with the Spanish word for "sea," "mar" (meaning "unparalleled blue"). It is said that the Dominican Republic was part of the lost continent of Atlantis, thus Larimar is also known as the "Stone of Atlantis," believed to enhance perception and intuition, and connect with the earth. Larimar possesses a blue reminiscent of the ocean, with white, wave-like stripes that evoke the visual effect of waves on the sea, displaying rich variations. Each piece of Larimar has a unique appearance. Larimar is a form of Pectolite, formed by the cooling and crystallization of high-temperature liquids from volcanic activity. In most igneous rocks, Pectolite crystals are colorless, white, pale pink, or pale green. Blue crystals are extremely rare. Furthermore, because Larimar minerals are sometimes associated with red or brown (containing iron) or gray inclusions, blue varieties are rare and highly valued. Larimar holds the energy of the sea, symbolizing environmental awareness, promoting peace and harmony, calming anger, and resolving disputes. **Shell Pearl** Shell pearls are made from large deep-sea clams, tridacnas, abalone shells, conch shells, and other mollusks. They are increasingly rare and precious organic gemstones. Shell pearls are rich in captivating luster and diverse colors, no less beautiful than pearls. For centuries, polished shells and mollusks have been fashioned into artworks and ornaments, serving as symbols of luxury and splendor for both Eastern and Western nobility. The collection and crafting process for shell pearls is more humane and environmentally friendly than that for pearls, making them favored and esteemed by jewelry collectors. **Moonstone** Moonstone has a warm, delicate, and translucent quality with a dreamy and elegant luster. It belongs to the feldspar family of gemstones, along with sunstone and amazonite, exhibiting a silky sheen and captivating iridescence, like moonlight or sunlight. It is also known as sunstone. Ancient Romans believed that moonstone was formed from moonlight, and through it, one could see the moon goddess Diana. In ancient India, moonstone symbolized the third eye, enhancing spiritual understanding and purifying the mind. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Larimar, Moonstone, Shell Pearl, 925 Silver, 18K Gold Size: **1.

However, we will strive to maintain a consistent style and kindly ask for your patience as we craft each masterpiece. **◈ About Use and Collection** 1. Natural gemstones possess natural luster and unique textures (small black spots, stone lines, ice cracks, inclusions, asymmetrical details are natural). With frequent wear, you will observe subtle color changes in natural gemstones, often becoming more translucent and captivating, which is also the best form of care. Natural organic gemstones (such as coral and amber) have low hardness and are not resistant to acids and alkalis. When dirty, avoid cleaning with detergents. Rinse with clean water and wipe with a soft cloth, or lightly brush with a small amount of mineral oil (like baby oil). 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, but avoid external damage or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 3. Fabric items (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable. They have a long lifespan, but avoid high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 4. For any jewelry, when dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water as appropriate, or use a moderate amount of neutral detergent for suitable materials. After washing, dry promptly. 5. When removed, store jewelry properly, sealed from excess air to slow oxidation and discoloration, and avoid stacking or heavy pressure. **◈ Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1.
