The “Samsara” Skull Mala from Mala Collective embodies patience, calm and serenity. Made of rudraksha seeds with eight white howlite beads, hand-carved buffalo horn skull and gray silk tassel. White howlite was originally used for meditation and is believed to help reduce stress and replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Made of 108 beads at 6 mm each. Hangs approximately 40 cm.
Inspired Design: Mala Collective creates handmade, fair trade mala beads in Bali, Indonesia. The crafting process of the mala beads – tying, carving and creating – is a proud tradition on the island of Bali. Artisans string the jewelry by hand, combining sustainably harvested rudraksha seeds with gemstones that carry strong intentions. Each piece is then handed out in the village to be knotted from home and blessed.
