The Tilbetan mala bracelet, also known as the Buddhist rosary, is a jewel composed of 108 beads and a larger bead called Guru.
Traditionally used for meditation by Tibetan Buddhist monks, the mala bracelet is now a fashionable accessory.
It can be worn either as a bracelet wrapped around several turns, or as a necklace.
How to close a mala?
The 8.7 mm bead with 3 holes and the small 12 x 8.5 mm cone will enable you to close your Tibetan bracelet.
Thread your beads onto a 1 mm cord, then finish with the 3-hole bead.
The aim is for your cord to exit through the 3ᵉ hole. For this you can use a nylon thread as a guide.
Insert the conical bead and tie a knot. You can finish your mala bracelet with a pompom.
