Rosewood Black 8mm 54 Bead Sterling Silver Mala

This listing is for a mala, Rosewood Black 8mm 54 Bead Sterling Silver Mala (shop SKU OPSRW4), which you can order online or see in the store.

The title gives a bead size of 8 mm. A mala is a strand of prayer beads used in Hindu and Buddhist practice to count mantra repetitions during meditation. Rosewood is a dense, warm-toned wood used for beads and carving.

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth. 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.
