About Pearl

Pearl is an organic gem formed inside mollusks, with a soft glow known as lustre. In Vedic tradition pearl (Moti) is the gem of Chandra (Moon). These are traditional and symbolic associations rather than promises of any result.

Using your mala

For japa, count each repetition of a mantra on one bead, turning the beads with the thumb and middle finger and stopping at the larger guru (meru) bead rather than crossing it. It can also be worn as a necklace or wrapped around the wrist.

Gifting and care

Gift a mala with its intention in mind: the material and the tradition attached to it make the choice personal. Porous materials absorb oils and chemicals. Keep it away from perfume, soap and sweat, and wipe with a soft dry cloth. Keep it dry, handle it gently and store it in a cloth pouch between uses.

Because every stone is different, tone and markings vary a little from the photos. If you need specific details about a piece, message us before you order.

A common pre-purchase question: check the listing details and photos first, then message us if anything is unclear.
