Blessing Bead Malas (prayer beads) serve the yoga and wellness communities by providing them with an island inspired and designed necklaces and bracelets made from locally sourced materials, made by a small community of artisans.

We create sacred spiritual jewelry by researching ancient myths and creating modern narratives in metal with precious and semi precious stones and secret island finds.
