shangrilacraft is a Canadian that moved to China with her husband about 7 years ago and has always had a passion for jewelry. When she lived in Canada she really didn't know much about Mala bracelets or necklaces.Myanmar Bodhi Mala Gamma-Eighth Luohan BeadsMyanmar Bodhi Mala Gamma-Eighth Luohan Beads Necklace

After living and traveling in Asia for such a long; she was influenced by Chinese colors, beads, tassels and styles.Natural Turquoise and Red Turquoise Rondelle Stone Bead Mala Necklace Natural Turquoise and Red Turquoise Rondelle Bead Mala Necklace

Malas are made with semi-precious gemstones, rosewood beads, sandalwood beads, rudraksha beads, bodhi wood and yak bone. All malas are made in the 108 or 216 bead necklace or a traditional bracelet design. Their is a story behind her Mala design's:  Wearing malas everyday brings good luck, focus and a quiet mind. And don't you think we could all use a little more of that!
