Sandalwood Bead Bracelet

Sandalwood

Stillness  ·  Clarity  ·  Presence

Sandalwood is the scent of stillness. For four thousand years it has been the wood of meditation and prayer, worn by anyone seeking to quiet the mind and come back to the present moment.

Warm brown and smooth, the beads carry the soft, sweet fragrance sandalwood is treasured for, a scent that deepens as you wear it and warms against the skin.

Available in 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm beads. This listing is for a single bracelet.

The Stone's Story

In Hinduism, sandalwood paste is applied to the foreheads of deities and devotees in worship. In Buddhism it is among the most sacred of incense, offered to the Buddha, and Zen monks have burned it in meditation for centuries. Across South Asia, the Middle East, and East Asia, its purpose has stayed remarkably constant for four thousand years: to quiet the mind and make room for the sacred.

From a Sacred Tree

Sandalwood beads are carved from the fragrant heartwood of the Santalum tree, which takes decades to develop its scented core. True Indian Sandalwood is among the most valuable woods on earth. The aroma comes from natural oils held in the wood itself, which is why the fragrance can last for years.

How to Wear & Care

Keep sandalwood dry, as it is natural wood. Do not soak it. Wipe gently with a dry cloth, and avoid perfumes or lotions on the beads, which can dull the natural scent. To refresh the fragrance, rub the beads gently between your fingers. Store somewhere dry, away from direct sun.
