House of RitualsMala Necklace

The mala is a beaded necklace used in Buddhism and Hinduism for meditation and prayer. Traditionally, you hold the mala in your right hand and move your thumb over each bead as you repeat your prayer, mantra, or meditation 108 times. This meditative act reminds us to be mindful of where we are and evokes the endless possibilities that lie ahead of us. The Mala necklace from Rituals with black onyx is a beautiful example of traditional craftsmanship. The 108 beads were handcrafted, meaning that several days of work went into each mala. The pendant in the middle of the mala is a tassel with an infinity symbol – made of sterling silver plated with 18-karat gold – and represents balance and simplicity. The colors of the natural gemstones may vary slightly.
