This stunning bracelet is made from the Rudraksha seed from the sacred Rudraksha tree found in India and many parts of Asia. These seeds are precious and powerful and are thought by many to be the tears cried by the God Shiva upon creating the universe. These beads will promote courage, compassion and integrity. They will even out the ph of the body and provide equilibrium where needed. They are strung on strong stretch to fit most sizes. The faceted carnelian gem stone is pretty and carnelian works on opening the heart. Sandalwood will protect and nourish the Rudraksha seed and they may become slightly darker after mixing with the oils on your body. There is no need to sleep with your Rudraksha jewellery on.
