It feels cool and smooth to the touch, with a gentle and comforting energy. **This is a one-of-a-kind piece, awaiting its destined owner.** **A New Concept for 108 Prayer Beads** In traditional views, 108 prayer beads are associated only with Buddhist practitioners. Thinking this way is quite outdated! While 108 prayer beads do originate from Buddhist scriptures, their length also allows them to be wrapped around the wrist multiple times or worn as a necklace. However, with the advancement of the times, the materials, designs, and decorative uses of 108 beads have evolved. They are now more fashionable, layered, and versatile, requiring designers to adapt to user preferences and create unique, customized pieces. Furthermore, **108 has never been exclusive to Buddhists. Even non-Buddhists can embrace the auspicious meaning of 108 and its potential for multi-layered styling.** We often share with our clients that a 108-bead bracelet is an external object. Whether we are Buddhist or not, chanting sutras or praying is primarily an inner practice. We should **not be bound or hindered by material possessions**, nor should we be confined by the type of bracelet on our wrist, the number of beads, how to hold it, or whether to wear it on the left or right hand. When handling beads, one should seek convenience and freedom, just as the "Diamond Sutra" states: "All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew drops and lightning; thus they should be contemplated." Bracelets and prayer beads are also phenomena, so one should not be overly concerned with them when using them. **Everything should be done for comfort.** **The Origin of 108 Prayer Beads** 108 prayer beads represent 108 kinds of afflictions. Within the six sense organs—eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind—there are pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral feelings. Within the six sense organs, there are also good, bad, and neutral aspects, totaling 18. Combined with the past, present, and future of time, this makes 36. Finally, adding the past, present, and future three times results in 108. The 108 kinds of afflictions imply that sentient beings have 108 types of troubles. These afflictions can give rise to various negative actions. Therefore, they must be eradicated. By cutting off the 108 kinds of afflictions, one can attain a state of stillness and tranquility of body and mind. Wearing prayer beads on the hand serves as a constant reminder to emulate the compassion of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It helps maintain a calm, unhurried, and spacious mindset in any environment. In Tibetan, prayer beads are called "Tsa-wa," which means to remember, miss, or recall. It also signifies continuity. It represents the constant remembrance of the guru, yidam, dakinis, and dharma protectors; it also signifies the guru, yidam, dakinis, and dharma protectors constantly remembering me, bestowing siddhis and wisdom. **Blue-flora Moonstone** Ancient Romans believed that moonstone was formed from moonlight, and through moonstone, one could see the moon goddess Diana. In ancient India, moonstone was a symbol of the third eye, which could enhance spiritual understanding and purify the mind. **Lavender Amethyst** Its name comes from the ancient Greek words "a-" (not) and "methustos" (drunk), as it was believed that amethyst could protect its owner from intoxication. Therefore, the ancient Greeks wore amethyst and used it to make drinking vessels. Over time, amethyst came to be believed to enhance wisdom. Lavender amethyst has a more delicate and elegant purple hue, representing higher-level, spiritual, and mental love. The frequency of purple corresponds to the crown chakra, possessing a calming and soothing effect. Its pure, fine, and dense energy makes one feel as if bathed in a gentle spring breeze. **Aquamarine** Aquamarine is named for its clear blue-green hue, reminiscent of the ocean. Legend has it that mermaids lived in the deep blue sea and used aquamarine as ornaments. They would expose the gemstones to sunlight to gain mystical power for protection. Thus, aquamarine is also known as "mermaid stone." For centuries, sailors navigating the turbulent waves have habitually prayed to the sea god with aquamarine for safe voyages. Consequently, aquamarine is revered as the "stone of the brave," symbolizing composure, courage, and intelligence. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Blue-flora Moonstone, Top-grade Luminous Aquamarine, Lavender Amethyst, 925 Silver, 18K Gold Size: Bead diameter 4mm, 5cm diameter for 4 loops (fits most wrists).

Natural gemstones possess natural luster and unique textures (e.g., tiny black spots, internal cracks, ice cracks, cloudiness, mineral inclusions, asymmetry). By wearing them frequently, you can observe subtle color changes in natural gemstones, which often become more translucent and captivating – this is the best form of maintenance. Natural organic gemstones (such as coral and amber) have low hardness and are not resistant to acids and alkalis. When encountering dirt, avoid using detergents. Clean with plain water and wipe with a soft cloth. You can also use a soft brush dipped in a small amount of mineral oil (like baby oil) for gentle polishing and care. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, but avoid external damage or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 3. Fabric items (ribbon, cotton, gauze) have a soft and comfortable texture and a long lifespan, but avoid high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 4. For any material jewelry, when encountering dirt, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in water as appropriate, or use a suitable amount of neutral detergent for appropriate materials. After washing, dry promptly. 5. When jewelry is removed, it should be stored properly, sealed from excess air to slow down oxidation and discoloration, and avoid stacking or heavy pressure. **◈ Product Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1.
