Garnet and Gold Mala, Knotted

GARNET AND GOLD MALA PRAYER BEADS – MADE TO ORDER IN BOULDER, COLORADO

A meditation tool built to last as long as your practice.Most malas fall apart after a few weeks of daily use: threads fray, knots loosen, beads crack, and tassels unravel. This one won’t. Every Garnet and Gold Mala is hand-knotted with strong cord in our Boulder studio, with each 6mm-6.5mm bead inspected for structural integrity before it’s ever used. No mass production. No shortcuts. Just a mala designed to hold up to thousands of repetitions, finished with a natural cotton tassel.

Why Garnet?

The word garnet comes from the Latin word granatus, meaning “grain,” a reference to the small red crystal formations often found in or on host rock. Garnet has been used throughout history in jewelry, ornamentation, and personal keepsakes, and garnet cabochons have often been associated with friendship and devotion. It is also one of the traditional birthstones for January.Garnet is a group of silicate minerals known for deep red tones, though it can appear in a wide range of colors depending on its mineral composition. Most garnet used in jewelry is sourced from regions such as East Africa, India, and Sri Lanka, with each bead showing natural variation in tone, depth, and translucency.

Garnet has been traditionally associated with:
