Calibration of Beads

Most of the beads that we choose are measured when they are made, a process called "calibration," to ensure roundness and regularity. Below is an extreme example of a strand of lower grade 8mm coral where the cutters where not carefully measuring for precision. This is a common practice with certain imported beads. Whenever possible, we choose more regular beads, so we are sure that you will appreciate our quality! Malas Made in the USA.

Here is a closeup of our sterling silver or gold vermeil spacers, part of our custom design options.

*Most Malas are made to order, and as with all natural stones and monitor variations, actual colors may vary slightly from web images. Customers can specify the color and placement of the three "marker beads"  used to divide Mala and tassel color. We will do our best to accommodate custom requests with materials available. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and considered a "work of art."   Malas will be sent as close to the web image as possible depending on available materials, if no custom requests are required. Complimentary Mala bag is offered in assorted colors, and we make the best effort to choose a harmonious color and style. If you'd like you Mala redesigned or if your mala breaks after our warranty period, we offer restringing service  for $18.
