How to Measure Your Wrist
- 1 Wrap a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper around your wrist, just below the wrist bone where you would normally wear a bracelet.
- 2 Mark the point where the tape or paper overlaps. Make sure it's snug but not tight — you should be able to fit one finger underneath.
- 3 If using paper, lay it flat and measure the length with a ruler. This is your wrist circumference.
- 4 Match your measurement to the size chart above. For a looser fit, add 0.5 – 1 cm to your wrist measurement.
Use a piece of string or strip of paper. Wrap it around your wrist, mark the overlap, then measure the length against a ruler.
Bead Size Reference
The bead diameter affects the overall bracelet size and appearance. Here's a quick reference:
| Bead Size | Best For | Look & Feel |
|---|---|---|
| 6 mm | Slim wrists / Delicate style | Subtle, elegant |
| 8 mm | Most wrists / Everyday wear | Balanced, classic |
| 10 mm | Medium to large wrists | Bold, noticeable |
| 12 mm | Large wrists / Statement piece | Chunky, powerful |
| 14 mm+ | Large wrists / Display pieces | Extra bold, ceremonial |
Ring Size Guide
Use the chart below to find your ring size. Measure your finger circumference and match it to the corresponding diameter.
How to Choose Your Ring Size
- If your finger circumference is around 2.17" (55 mm), we recommend selecting a ring with an inner diameter of 0.67" (17 mm).
- If your circumference is 2.20–2.24" (56–57 mm), choose a diameter of 0.71" (18 mm).
- For the most accurate measurement, visit a local jeweler to have your ring size professionally measured.
- If your knuckle is noticeably wider than the base of your finger, measure at the widest point of your knuckle. This ensures the ring can slide over comfortably while still fitting well when worn.
Measure your finger at the end of the day when fingers are at their largest. Avoid measuring when your hands are cold or swollen. If you're between two sizes, choose the larger one.
All measurements are approximate. Natural stone and wood beads may have slight size variations. If you have any questions about sizing, please don't hesitate to contact us — we're happy to help you find the perfect fit.
Malas have been strung to 108 beads for a long time — long enough that the number itself has become a kind of shorthand for intention. Some traditions cite 108 earthly desires. Others point to the 108 names held in certain texts. The count endures across Buddhist, Hindu, and Yogic practice alike. What changes is the wood.
The Wood Changes Everything
This bracelet comes in over a dozen wood types — each with its own grain, color, and density. Ebony (黑檀) runs dark and close-grained, with almost no visible texture. Chicken-wing wood (鸡翅木) has a dramatic figured grain that shifts in the light. Green sandalwood (绿檀) carries a faint natural scent. Cliff cypress (崖柏) is prized in Chinese collector culture for its slow growth and tight ring structure. Jujube wood (枣木) and golden sandalwood (黄金檀) run warmer — reddish-brown tones that deepen with handling over time.
Practitioners who bead-count during meditation often prefer denser woods — they move through the fingers with more resistance, which some people find helps them keep pace. Others choose by color or grain alone. Neither approach is wrong.
Bead Size: What 6mm and 8mm Actually Feel Like
The 6mm beads sit lighter on the wrist and wrap closer. On a narrower wrist they look more like a bracelet than a counting string. The 8mm beads are closer to a classic mala feel — more presence, easier to distinguish by touch during practice. Most adults find the 8mm sits comfortably on wrists between 6 and 7.5 inches. Both sizes string the full 108 count.
Care
Keep away from prolonged water exposure and perfume. Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Natural woods may deepen in color with regular handling — this is normal.

• Left hand: for protection, healing, or attracting abundance
• Right hand: for releasing or giving energy
