The 36 beads represent the thirty-six divine kings, or thirty-six benevolent deities, who govern the human realm and dispel the 108 earthly afflictions. The 36 beads symbolize simplifying complexity and understanding the profound through the simple. Taking one-third of the 108 beads, it offers convenience while carrying the same significance as the 108 beads: using benevolent deities to dispel and sever the 108 worldly worries, seeking the enlightenment of the 108 samadhis. The aged *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* is purely natural, with no added color or enhancement. It offers a deeper feel and hue, finer pores, delicate grain, a uniform and pure base color, clear texture, rich natural oils, and a dense material with high luster, making it easier to polish. It is adorned with a natural *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* gourd charm and vibrant, full-bodied natural carnelian beads. The piece features a dangling natural *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* gourd, *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* lotus beads, and natural carnelian beads. The gourd, a homophone for "fortune and prosperity," carries auspicious meaning. The overall piece is elegant and understated, with a serene hue, exuding an antique and refined charm, perfect for gifting. **Specifications** Natural aged *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* round beads: approx. 10mm Natural *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* small gourd: approx. 15mm × 9mm Natural *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* gourd: approx. 38mm × 21mm Natural *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* lotus bead: approx. 8mm Natural carnelian round beads (full color, full body): approx. 4.5mm, 6mm **Purchase Notes** This product has been carefully selected. All primary and secondary materials are natural, with no impurities, added color, or resin filling. If any material requires secondary processing for product pairing, it will be specifically noted. The color of *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* can vary, appearing brighter red or deep purplish-black, which are natural phenomena. This is due to the oxidation reaction between the *Dalbergia cochinchinensis*素 (puritanin) and the air, which is more pronounced in sunlight. The richer the puritanin content, the more the color tends towards deep purplish-black. However, the product will still maintain its luster and smooth, soft finish, and the grain will not change. This is a testament to the excellent quality of the material. As this product is handcrafted, there may be minor traces of the crafting process in the cordwork. We strive to minimize these where possible, but some small marks may be present for safety and durability. We endeavor to place these in inconspicuous areas or conceal them. All products in our store are photographed in kind, with each item being unique. We use professional photography equipment and natural daylight to ensure the colors are as true to the product's essence as possible. However, slight variations may occur due to differences in monitors and viewing environments. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult our customer service for multi-angle photos of the product. **Caring for *Dalbergia cochinchinensis*** 1. After purchasing a *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* bracelet, proper handling is essential to maintain its original value. 2. During daily wear and care, avoid applying wax or oil, as *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* wood is naturally oily. Rely on its inherent oils. 3. *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* is sensitive to water; remove your mala when washing hands or showering. Additionally, keep your *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* mala away from dusty or dirty environments to prevent contamination and preserve its natural aroma. 4. *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* dissolves in alcohol and should therefore be kept away from alcoholic substances or corrosive chemicals like gasoline and disinfectants, which can damage the wood. 5. Although *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* wood is hard, avoid collisions with other hard jewelry, as it is still wood. Be mindful during wear to minimize contact with sharp objects to prevent scratches. Avoid high temperatures, especially contact with fire. 6. If it becomes dirty, rinse with clean water and dry, or wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using detergents or cleaning agents, as acidic or alkaline cleaners can corrode the *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* bracelet. 7. When not wearing your *Dalbergia cochinchinensis* mala, store it in a sealed container in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, which can cause moisture loss and surface cracking. It is best to store it in a pure cotton cloth or a sealed bag.
