return policy
Custom designs (bespoke) are one-of-a-kind and considered a "work of art" made for you, and are not returnable, but we will carefully honor requests.
materials + knotting
We prefer to use the sturdiest state-of-the-art “Soft Flex” bead cable/ jewelry wire. we offer a 49 micro-filament strand extremely durable bead cable cord, used in most designs with tassels. Adjustable slip knot design require colored nylon cord. The beads will easily slide when counting, as is the traditional method for Buddhist Malas, rather than having “knots” after each bead. (Hindu style) We can add seed bead or hand tyed “knots” at your request for an additional charge.
we are here for you!

SAMPLE PROMPT: “A realistic, professional product prototype of a 108-bead mala necklace based on a traditional quadrant design. The main beads are 8mm deep blue genuine lapis lazuli with natural gold pyrite inclusions. The mala is divided into four equal sections of 27 lapis beads each by three clear, faceted crystal marker beads. At the base, there is a large lapis lazuli guru bead followed by a long, thick dark blue silk fabric tassel. The mala is arranged in a graceful ‘S’ curve on a clean white background, mimicking a jewelry design template, with soft shadows and high-resolution detail on the stone textures”
