Red Bodhi Hand Mala — Trace
A hand-held piece for rhythm, attention, and quiet return.
About this piece
This hand mala is composed of deep red aged bodhi seed beads, their surface softly polished and naturally darkened over time, creating a warm, grounded tone.
At the head of the strand sits a golden-yellow chalcedony bead, marking the beginning and end of each cycle. A small sterling silver spacer adds a subtle point of contrast — a quiet pause within the flow.
Finished with a simple hand-tied cord, this piece is designed to be held, counted, and returned to, not worn.
It belongs to the Trace collection — objects created for rhythm, reflection, and inward focus.
Red Bodhi & Chalcedony
Bodhi seeds have long been used as tools for repetition and awareness, valued for their light weight and steady tactile feel.
The deep red tone of this strand gives it a sense of warmth and maturity — a color associated with presence and quiet strength.
The yellow chalcedony head bead introduces a soft, luminous accent, offering a natural visual anchor as each cycle completes.
Together, they create a hand mala that feels balanced, grounded, and calm.
