This Mala bead necklace is lovely. I read a lot of reviews (maybe not for this exact item - reviews tend to blur together after a while!) where people claimed their beads were made of plastic, were dyed vs natural stones, that they had chips or were imperfect, that the "charm" was plastic or fell off the necklace, or the silk tassel fell apart almost immediately.The necklace is weighty, and as soon as I held it, I noticed how nice it felt in my hands. The beads are clearly stone, and the beads made of picture jasper are all natural; however I'm uncertain whether or not the rest of the beads are natural or have been dyed. Typically when the color is consistent, the beads have been dyed. While this isn't the perfect option when creating a meditation/prayer tool, it's not something that will keep me from using the necklace. The knotting between beads is tight and makes for easy movement of the fingers between individual beads. As far as chipped or damaged beads, my necklace has none, but stones naturally have imperfections that can be revealed during the manufacturing process. Granted, beads with more than a minor imperfection should be removed before the necklace is strung, but finding no such beads on my necklace leads me to believe that at least some quality control is in place.Because of the number of people who had trouble with the silk tassels falling apart, I decided on a necklace with a charm. The tree of life charm I selected is metal, and is attached securely - I do not anticipate any issues with it falling off. The charm is a bit small & lightweight for a beginning/ending focal point, so I decided to wear the necklace with the charm over my heart, which also creates more interest by disguising the pattern the beads are strung in. The ONLY complaint I have is that the charm is attached with a metal barrel, when a guru bead would have been preferable since the energy created while meditating/praying with the beads collects in the guru bead and metal is not known for its ability to store energy.This product would make a nicer gift if a velvet storage bag was included - and it would be nicer to have a storage bag even if not a gift.

Most of the mala bracelets I have purchased are elastic and inevitably they stretch out and break. This one is not elastic and I love it! The beads are of excellent quality and I think it’ll be very durable. 10/10 recommend

I like everything. The large and rich multi-colored tassels used by this company make a big difference aesthetically. This necklace is very vibrant with both colored stones and multi-colored tassels, but the ones with one color stone are greatly enhanced by their multi-colored, substantially larger tassels. I also like the long length of these necklaces because I am 5'8" and appreciate the flattering longer line they bring to a simple linen dress. Delivery was prompt. I cannot extend the endorsement to the ones pictured which have a chakra design and end in a small, metal pendant. Those use a smaller stone, I think 6 mm instead of 8 mm, and the necklaces were shorter, less visible, and the metal pendants did not look as eye-catching as the tassels. But the ones with tassels have all been terrific and I bought a few of them.

They’re made very well and very beautiful. But it seems like they don’t mesh with my energy very well. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me?
