108 Mala Bead Bracelets 8MM Tibetan Buddha Wood Beaded Sandalwood Bracelets

I like these beads and recommend them if you're just looking for something to wear. I did not know how to use them when I bought them. Cons: The number of beads are also inconsistent. the holes weren't well drilled. Pro: Nice colors strong string good quality beads If you want to use them as prayer beads, I bought pack of black wood 12mm beads and 1.5 mm string and used a drill bit, cleaned the hole up, restrung them in sets of 12 (11-8 mm to 1-12 mm). I lost the fancy knot but I was able to make the string longer for my use. I find counting to be very soothing. I am also autistic and ADHD so the beads. Heavier beads set off my senory stuff so the effort was worth it for me. Now I have a decent sets that work really well and are light enough for me to wrap around my wrist without setting off my sensory issues. Cheaper to retool these than buy all the parts separately.

I got these for meditation purposes and I love them! Especially the ones with the small beads separating them into quarters. I enjoy the ones with straight 108 beads as well but with those, if your brain wanders and you lose count, you've got to start all over again. But the ones separated into quarters, you advance to the next quarter and keep going. Also, I'm the type that likes that reinforcement, kind of like, "Yeah, you're doing GREAT! Your count is right on the money!" For the price, I'm really pleased with the variety. I can stash these little suckers anywhere: In my purse, in the car, at work. Anytime I need to take a 5 minute mental health break and just focus on mindfulness and breathing. Can't recommend these enough!

They’re fun and well-made. The best one is the wooden/natural colored because the wooden beads have a nice pattern and they’re matte (the colored ones have a bit of satin finish to them). Update: just realized the light green set is actually dark forest green. It works for me, but de facto a wrong color is pictured.

I love the variety in these. The wood ones in the picture that I'm wearing are slightly bigger than the other ones which I found interesting. The others are smaller but I can only wrap them 4 times around my wrist and the one I have on is wrapped 5 so there does seem to be a size difference there. The black ones really feel plastic although the others are wood. These are very lightweight and seem well strung. They are on an elastic cord and there is no knotting between them. I hope the pictures and my summary helps. All in all I like them. Not the best set I have but I'm happy with them and I think they will last.

My nieces wanted beaded bracelets and these were a perfect gift.

Loved all the colors, designs and variety. Sadly the knots did start to untie and beads started to fall off at random times. Now we only wear like two out of the twelve that we originally bought. All of the others either came loose and had to be thrown away or the rest are just hanging up on our wall, like a decoration instead of us being able to wear them like we wanted, and that was the whole reason we bought them in the first place.

Great price as I give malas as gifts to friends, and I wear one of these myself. I prefer the wood type for lighter weight, takes more abuse of you knock around it. Stretchy band which I love, in a 215lb 6’ male so I can wrap it 3 times and not tight on wrist, also wear over neck with ease. Use in meditation practice, 108 beads, and many different styles, came fast and great price. Thank you for the opportunity to purchase these, I think you’ll really like them! If you’re looking for stone or gem, these aren’t them.

I bought these because I have been looking for mala beads for a while. When I got the eight of these in the mail, they were just as pictured. That's always a plus. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that one of the beads was chipped on one of the bracelets (though I can't provide a picture). At first, I was upset about this because I tend to like my items in perfect condition when they arrive. However, after wearing it for a bit, I wasn't as upset as you think I might be. In a way, it added some character to my item. Besides that, it also confirmed that, yes, these are indeed wooden beads. Even if the coating over them might have you convinced otherwise. There is also a smell to them, but it's not a bad smell in my opinion. Over all 5/5. Would recommend.

These malas were beautiful! Such a great deal for all 8 bracelets! They are light and comfortable to wear on your wrist, but heavy enough that they also look pretty worn as a necklace. Came in a pretty velvet pouch, would definately buy again!

Great craftsmanship, fits my style and much more. They are exactly what I wanted and they delivered

Love these beads. The colours are beautiful.

all but one were shorter than I had hoped for, but they are what they are.

I thought this was great value. Better than what I had expected
