BALIBALIBALIBALI 8MM Beads Chakra Long Mala Necklace Natural Stone Meditation Statement Necklace Japa Yoga Buddhist Rosary Prayer Charm Beaded Tassel Necklace

I got what I wanted and more in this beautiful mala for my meditation retreats! I was pleasantly surprised to find the thread used throughout is gold colour to match the tassel. I also received it in a timely manner. Well done!

Más bonito que en la foto, llegó en excelente estado, está hermoso.

This review will have typos due to broken keyboard. I hope this review is helpful.Originally, I bought this mala for myself but... it was SO PERFEKT on my husband's wrist, I knew it was 'his.' I liked it so muxh I ordered another for myself.The produkt is exaktly as deskribed. I have no idea the 'staying power' of the tassel - but... I figure if you don't squash it into the tiny itsy bitsy pouxh that komes in the nise box, you're better off.The produkt komes in a box - whish is I think the best way to store it bekause the pouxh that komes in the box is skimpy - and not at all big enough to 'house' the tassel without krushing it. That's the only negative thing I kan say about this - and it's no big deal - the box is great! Sturdy and perfekt to keep this mala when it's not worn or in use.If you use this for spiritual praktise, losing the tassel would be a bit off-putting bekause the 'guru bead' is also the same size as the rest of the mala - so the tassel is the referense point only for the end-point of the mala - more or less. At the prise point of this item, I don't think it's a problem, but for some... it might be.The stones are wonderful! I love the variety of the mala - if anything, it kould be more varied. I bought the 'Amazonite' version. And I don't think for a sekond it's all Amazonite. But I DO like the energy that kame with the mala. And I LOVE how it feels. It's SUBSTANTIAL - and that's a GOOD thing! I had a mala with tiny beads and it was very unkomfortable whereas this is a dream.It's about 42" in length, so bear that in mind. Also, I wore my former mala - before it broke - around my wrist. This will wrap more easily if you don't bend it right away... but rather, work it in spiritual praktise! As oils from your skin work their way into the mala, the mala , in turn, will also respond by being more pliable.It seems to 'love' being handled - and... within about an hour, I notised that it gets more workable, and it bekomes almost like a sekond skin.So I definitely enjoy this produkt... and loved that it 'belonged with' my husband. If I had wanted to order one for him, he wouldn't have been half as happy as to spontaneously handle a mala and hear me say, "Oh wow... that's got your name on it honey!" That's why you never know with these things! You may think you're buying it for yourself... and find out you're not! hahahaI am looking forward to our sekond household mala arriving in a few days. And I think it's a great produkt and if it's treated with kindness and kare, it will never fail to mirror bak that effort. At least that's my philosophy. We'll see if this bears out.But to anyone thinking they should stuff it in the provided pouxh? I wouldn't! I would let it breathe - in the box, it's got 'room' - and - all fabriks need to 'breathe' to stay fresh. So I would treat the silk and the knots to lots of air and keep it as flat as possible, so there's no stress on the tassel part of the neklase when it's laid down - if that makes sense to anyone. Or maybe I just am super kareful after having broken so many pieses of jewelry in my life.Hope this review is helpful! And... here's to hopefully a tassel that survives! hahaha I try to stay away from that part of the mala anyway given my history with jewelry in general.My husband LOVES it. And it REALLY is a lovely feel for anyone with long fingers or a big hand who uses the beads as intended. Very GLAD I purshased! Definitely rekommend!

The stones are nice and everything but the first picture is from the first time I wore it and the tassels is already falling apart in under 3 weeks.
