Bead questions

What size bead should I choose?
Most people start with 8 mm. Smaller beads look delicate and stack well; 10 to 12 mm is bold. See the bead size guide.
Will a bracelet fit my wrist?
Standard stretch bracelets fit most wrists around 6.5 to 7 inches. Measure with the wrist guide, and look for BIG Wrist titles for larger fits.
What is a mala?
A strand of prayer beads, traditionally 108, used to count mantras or breaths. Our sister shop Namaste Bead Shop goes deeper.
