Rudraksha beads - Natural seeds for DIY jewelry making

Rudraksha beads, also known as Shiva's tears, are natural seeds traditionally used in the manufacture of malas and spiritual jewelry. Highly appreciated for their raw, organic appearance, they are now winning over DIY jewelry enthusiasts looking for natural, original materials.

Derived from the Elaeocarpus angustifolius tree, which grows mainly in Himalayan regions, Rudraksha seeds, literally "eye of Rudra" (another name for the god Shiva), possess a unique aura. Hindu legend has it that they are born of divine tears of compassion.

Creative ideas with Rudraksha seeds

Traditional malas: assemble 108 Rudraksha seeds on nylon or silk thread, inserting a knot between each bead, and finish with a tassel.
Elastic bracelets: alternate Tears of Shiva with our natural stone beads for a chic yoga style.

How do I care for Rudraksha seeds?
