I love the size and quality of the “beads”. The wood feels good on my skin and has a calming effect when I wear them; which isn't often because of the length. I have the 8mm mala as well for daily use with chanting. The 10mm mala I reserve for formal wear or ceremony. The only complaint I have is the long, burgundy thread hanging at the end of the mala. Would have preferred to have the six beads simply hanging from from a short thread; like the 8mm one. The color green is a warm and earthy shade which I like very much. Overall, I am pleased with it.

I love the necklace, the way each bead feels the same. I wear it every day.

It was perfect. Size, weight and length. I wear it as a necklace and the elastic cord makes me feel it will be more durables.
I have been searching for a new mala for a long time. Took my chance with this because the price was fair and loved it!
Michele B.
Beautiful beads!
Liz Y.
I love to wear around my neck for the subtle scent of sandalwood.

I love the mala and the smell of the sandlewood beads is intoxicating. Its only downfall for me, was it was stretchy and I prefer a non elastic string. I still Love it though!
James G.
The sandalwood smells great, it fits around my wrist about 5 times snug but breathable, and it looks really nice and lowkey at the same time. I wear it all the time as a little reminder to myself to stay kind and loving. I use it meditate with and love it. Its a lovely new addition to my mindfulness practice.
kory W.
Love my new prayer beads!!!! I wear them every day as my reminder to be present in the moment.
Melodie H.
Wear it everyday love it very much
Caryl A.
Love these for bigger beads and they smell wonderful.
Whitney G.
I love the smell of the beads, but it is an awkward size. Wrapped 4 times around my wrist, it is too big and rests mostly on my hand. It nearly falls off. Wrapped 5 times, it is too snug on my wrist, and is uncomfortable to wear. I still like it and will continue to wear it loosely.
Cathy M.
Not only is it a proud time when wearing this beautifully made mala but the energy that was imbued from the individual who created it is absolutely amazing.
Maine J.
It seems like you change the cord, it feels very thin. It still looks amazing.
Philip M.
I wear it daily no matter what. Love the color as well . Will purchase more soon
Betty M.
So special. Lov3 length and looks of it.
Albert S.

The wooden beads are beautiful and smooth. Perfect for mantra meditation.
Dave H.
This is my second order of the green sandalwood beads. I had to re-order because I gave my initial away to a special friend. I've ordered a couple other malas as well.
Tameka M.
I love this Mala and I’m looking forward to wearing! I also love the storage pouch that it came in!
Susan G.
The description of the Mala Beads is accurate. What I am most impressed with is the warmth and scent of the sandlewood. It is very soothing. I use the beads when I say compassion prayers to those I love and the world. Throughout the day, I find myself noticing the scent and being reminded to go back to my center.
Nedra S.
Like so much I going to order the large bead sandalwood mala soon.
Ms J.
Shades of colors not as varied as I expected. The color seems a little dull compared to picture.
Lesley B.
They are fine and smell really good (I love the smell of Sandalwood). I actually do use them when meditating and they help me during my panic attacks.
Michael N.
I gave them to my daughter. She says that they smell really good. She says that she likes to rub them. Is experimenting with wearing them as a bracelet.
Peg T.
Beautiful beads and the aromatherapy is also a treat.
Lori H.
I love my Mala. The smell is wonderful and sandalwood calms me. My only small complaint is that it stretched out a lot! I may re-string them. But all in all I'm happy with it.
Mihaela R.
Wear it like a bracelet and necklace.
Amy O.
Love love love it! Great quality and color.
Cheryl B.
Love my prayer beads!
Sophie C.
I am very pleased- I love the feel of the beads next to my skin- soothing
Robin R.
I love a variety of beads. I create my own bracelets. But, love the meaning of Mala beads, so I purchased. Ordering two more for my daughters. ❤️
Susan C.
As you know, the original mala beads never showed up at my house. You very nicely fixed the problem by sending me a second mailing which arrived promptly.
When I returned from a vacation on May 10, and picked up my mail, guess what was there? Yes, the original package (I believe) with a note on the side that read "AAU missent."
I can send this back to you.
Susan

Quality purchase
Debbie M.
Gave this as a gift to my friend and she absolutely loves it. Wears it every day...all day.
Pamela S.
Totally love it myself, as do the others to whom I gifted the beads. I plan to purchase more as gifts!
Pamela L.
I wish there were instructions to putting them on. I can't smooth them out. Is there a process for doing that?
Thank you
tara d.
I LOVE my Mala beads. Beautiful and meaningful. They go with absolutely everything. Great purchase!
Jeffrey K.
Freshly made.. The fragrance of sandalwood is outstanding!!
Carrie H.
This was a gift for my daughter. She loves it. She says it's not green, more tan, but loves the smell of the wood!
Kevin P.
Been looking for Malas for a while. I saw these and felt, why not! Well, they're all I expected and more! Plus, it appears they're a Fair Trade item, instead of mass produced. The workmanship is exceptional as well!
Carolyn T.
I love it! I think it may be helpful to add a picture of the item without the special lighting so it's more clear that the colors aren't as vibrant or contrasted in real life.
Tonya C.
I absolutely loved this small company. In my opinion they have the best Mala beads.
jeffrey S.
looks feeels and smells great!
Mary K.
These are beautiful and interesting bracelets/prayer beads. I enjoy wearing them and my daughter was very pleased with her gift.
Julia S G.
I actually bought this for my daughter who lives out of state and she absolutely loves it! Said it came in excellent condition. Thank you!
Gregory L.
This mala is very well made of attractive materials. The price was reasonable and the item was shipped quickly. The package contained a useful cotton bag for carrying or storing the mala. This is a good vendor, certainly worth checking out!
Normand B.
Love my beads. Very light in the hand. Feels great on fingers. Looks great on my wrist. I feel peace when I meditate with them.
jacqueline L.
Gave 2 as a gift. The smell is complemented as soothing.
Raul C.
I like this item very much. It is a beautiful design and the material and craftsmanship are very good quality. I don't often buy jewelry and accessories on line because it's not easy to evaluate them based on pictures but I am very satisfied with this item and happy to recommend it.
Shannon S.
I wear them on my wrist or around my neck. They are comfortable and easy to wear. And I get compliments on them often. They feel like a right fit for me. Blessings!
Amy B.
I love my beads! What makes it even better is the incredible customer service of the company. My package was not received initially, and they went out of their way to work with me on resolving the issue. I'd purchase from them again anytime!
Tom S.
The beads constantly give me a olfactory reminder of doing the right thing.
Anna S.
Love it!!! Same as the picture love it
Lori H.
Like the other reviewers said, the first knot came undone and the pretty flower design is gone and now some string dangles down and is in the way.. the beads also darkened a lot.. but other than that it's solid and smells wonderful. I wouldn't die without it but I do like it.
Robert H.
from the moment you open the beautiful hand made pouch you are immediately transported by the beautiful scent. Not only is it a wonderful way to meditate, the aromatherapy qualities of the mala immediately helps me relax :)
