World of Meditation
Handmade Mala Bracelet / Anklet

World of Meditation is a handsome mala bracelet / anklet that I handcrafted of Bethlehem olivewood beads, a handmade artisan lampwork glass bead, .925 sterling silver handcrafted clasp, and multi-strand linen cord. Opened up, this is a 54 bead mala (a half-mala) that can be used for rosary-like prayers or japa mala chanting or any type of meditation. With the sterling clasp closed, this mala can be easily carried as a bracelet or anklet.

This mala fits a wrist or ankle of approximately 8" to 8.5" (20.3 cm to 21.5 cm). You can also wear it as a smaller bracelet or anklet by clasping the sterling hook between any of the beads.

In alignment with the mystical lore associated with the stone, I crafted this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be blessed with deep, enriching meditations and prayers.

Metaphysical, Mystical, & Spiritual Healing Properties Lore:

Bethlehem Olivewood beads are handmade from the wood of olive trees in and near Bethlehem that is leftover from pruning the trees. No trees are harmed to make these lovely beads, only pruned to help them produce more olves. As these olivewood beads are from Bethlehem, they are mysitcally related to peacefulness, joy, salvation, and depth of belief. Using these beads for meditation or prayer can enhance the depth and power of those meditations or prayers.
