AW Artisan Europe's Wholesale Gemstone Mala Beads are spiritual tools rooted in centuries-old tradition, handcrafted in India with natural gemstones that each carry their own energetic signature. These malas are used in meditation practices across Hindu and Buddhist cultures, particularly for mantra repetition, known as japa. Each strand contains 108 gemstone beads—a sacred number in many spiritual systems, symbolising completeness, universal connection, and the journey toward enlightenment.
During chanting or meditation, the mala is held in the right hand, and beads are gently counted using the thumb. Importantly, the index finger is not used, as it symbolises the ego—considered the greatest barrier to self-realisation—and is therefore purposefully avoided in spiritual traditions when handling the mala.
Each gemstone bead is chosen not only for its visual appeal but also for its esoteric properties. Be it calming amethyst, grounding black agate, or energising tiger eye, the stones offer subtle vibrational support for the wearer’s inner journey. Due to the natural variation of gemstones, the size and length of each mala can differ slightly, making every piece unique. Bead sizes generally range from 0.6 cm to 0.8 cm, and the full mala measures approximately 60 cm to 80 cm in length.
These malas are perfect for use in meditation, prayer, breathwork, or simply as a mindful accessory throughout the day. Their handmade nature, combined with genuine gemstones, makes them a deeply personal and meaningful item for anyone seeking spiritual balance, focus, or intention.
For enhanced presentation, pair these mala beads with our soft velvet pouches. Not only do they protect the beads, but they also add a luxurious touch that reflects the sacred nature of the product—making them ideal for retail gifting, yoga studios, or spiritual boutiques.
AW Artisan Europe's mala beads are truly esoteric: a blend of ancient tradition, natural beauty, and soulful craftsmanship. They are more than a product—they are a ritual companion, an expression of inner wisdom, and a symbol of the timeless path to stillness and self-awareness.
