This is a modern design hybrid of Tibetan Buddhist Malas and Imperial court prayer beads, known as Chaozhu (court beads) in the Qing Dynasty, were formal necklaces adapted from Buddhist rosaries, featuring 108 beads to represent the removal of 108 afflictions. Worn by the emperor, royal family, and high officials, they served as symbols of rank and religious devotion, typically crafted from precious materials like pearls, jade, or rare woods.

Healing Properties
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli is a stone of protection that may be worn to guard against psychic attacks. It quickly releases stress, bringing deep peace and harmony while encouraging self-awareness and allowing self-expression. It reveals inner truth, providing qualities of honesty, compassion, and morality to the personality. Lapis stimulates objectivity, clarity and encourages creativity, helping one to speak their truth and inspiring confidence.
Rock Quartz
Known as the “Master Healer,” Clear Rock Quartz absorbs, stores, releases, and regulates energy. It draws off negative energy of all kinds, neutralizing background radiation and balancing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual planes. It acts as a deep soul cleanser, connecting the physical dimension with the mind to enhance concentration and unlock memory while amplifying the effects of surrounding gemstones.
