Why we're Different
Most of the beads that we choose are measured when they are made, a process called "calibration," to ensure roundness and regularity.

Oftentimes, the cutters use imprecise hand methods of measuring, but not with our well-crafted designs from Sakura!

Genuine 3 Hold Guru Beads
We offer three holed guru beads. Imported malas often have irregular beads, tight knotting, and loosely attached tassels or focal beads. We use calibrated beads and durable cord for smooth movement and lasting quality. Made and designed in the USA unless noted.

Our macrame slipknot, clasped and elastic slip on bracelets all are adjustable from about 6.5" to 8", if you need custom sizing we can offer that here in out Boulder studio!
