How do I take care of my jewelry?

If you have any problems, please contact us in following ways:

E-mail: buddhabodhis@gmail.com

Please email buddhabodhis@gmail.com for detailed address

Q1: Is the ebony wood in this bracelet real?
A1: Yes, absolutely. We are committed to authenticity and use only genuine, sustainably sourced ebony wood, known for its density and deep, rich color.

Q2: Why are some beads smooth and others carved? Is it a defect?
A2: This is not a defect; it is the most important feature of the design. The contrast between smooth and hand-carved beads is intentional, symbolizing the journey of life and the beauty of experience, in line with the Wabi-Sabi philosophy.

Q3: How will I know if this bracelet will fit my wrist?
A3: This bracelet is crafted on a durable elastic cord to provide a snug yet comfortable fit for most wrist sizes, typically from 6.5 inches (16.5cm) to 8 inches (20cm).

Q4: How should I care for my ebony bracelet?
A4: To protect the natural wood, avoid prolonged exposure to water. Gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. The wood will naturally deepen in color and luster as it absorbs your skin’s natural oils over time.

Q5: What is the purpose of the small brass beads?
A5: The antiqued brass spacers provide a warm visual contrast to the dark ebony. They also help to articulate each block, giving the bracelet flexibility and highlighting the unique shape of each bead.

Q6: Is this design unisex?
A6: Yes. Its bold, powerful, and earthy aesthetic has a universal appeal that transcends gender, making it a perfect piece for anyone.

Q7: Is the bracelet heavy?
A7: Ebony is a dense wood, so the bracelet has a satisfying, grounding weight to it without being uncomfortably heavy for all-day wear. The feeling of substance is part of its grounding quality.

Q8: Can I use this for mantra meditation?
A8: While not a traditional 108-bead mala, its distinct, tactile beads can be an excellent aid for keeping focus during mantra repetition or breathing exercises.

Q9: What is “Wabi-Sabi”?
A9: Wabi-Sabi is a traditional Japanese worldview centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. In aesthetics, it is about appreciating the beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete,” like the unique texture of the hand-carved wood.

Q10: Does the bracelet come ready for gifting?
A10: Yes, every piece from our collection is mindfully packaged in our signature Buddha Bodhis eco-friendly box or pouch, arriving as a perfect and meaningful gift.
