Natural Rudraksha Bead Bracelet

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this beaded bracelet: Natural Rudraksha Bead Bracelet (shop SKU DSC32438).

Rudraksha beads are the dried seeds of Elaeocarpus trees, long used as prayer beads in Hindu practice and associated with Shiva. Each seed has its own natural ridges and shape.

Because beads are cut from natural materials, color and pattern vary from piece to piece. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
