What is a mala?

A mala, which is Sanskrit for garland, is a string of beads—typically 108, in addition to one guru bead—which are used as a meditation tool while chanting, reciting or silently repeating a mantra.

What is a mantra?

A mantra—Sanskrit for sound, syllable, word or group of words—is a personal “motto” of sorts that is repeated during meditation to help create focus and self-transformation.

What is the significance of the 108 beads?

Malas allow the wearer to keep count of mantra recitation, allowing her to stay focused, calm and relaxed while repeating a mantra 108 times. In traditional Tibetan Buddhism, mala beads are often created using 108 beads, as a 108-bead mantra repetition represents the 108 worldly sins in the Buddhist doctrine.

What is the significance of the numbers 3 and 6?

The numbers 3 and 6 are significant in relation to mala beads, with Buddhist malas coming in three forms: 108, 54 and 27 beads. On a traditional Buddhist mala, the three beads above the guru bead represent the Three Refuges: Homage to the Buddha, Homage to the Dharma and Homage to the Sangha.

This Adjustable Necklace has a beautiful strand of gray freshwater pearls on an  adjustable silk thread with pearl drop ties.

Our Las Perlas Collection was designed with the intention of showcasing the craftsmanship and talent of our fair trade cooperative of women artisans in the Philippines and to honor Mother Nature’s gracious gift from the sea, the freshwater pearl. When I first connected with our artisan cooperative I was impressed with their high quality hand-knotted pearls and knew one day I would design something special with them using pearls. Some fashion trends come and go yet pearls remain timeless. We have put a modern twist on them by incorporating them with natural silk cord creating a light and delicate feeling of effortless simple style.

Freshwater pearls are naturally formed in harmony from the water energy of the sea when a grain of sand is captured inside a living species, a mollusk. Several layers of pearly substance form around it as a defense. As the pearl layers build up a circle known as nacre starts forming which becomes a pearl. These layers develop an iridescence which makes pearls so beautiful and unique. Freshwater pearls are especially unique as the natural process can develop pearls of different shapes, sizes, and color. Pearls are considered to be a gem, not a stone or crystal.
