Antique Beaded Mala

About This Beaded Mala

Antique Beaded Mala is a mala with a metal alloy base and artificial stones, weighing 100 gm and available in Ruby. Made in India and shipped across India in 2–4 business days.

Two short cylinders, each set with a vertical row of small ruby-coloured stones, sit on either side of this beaded mala and break up a line of patterned round beads, so the necklace has a clear rhythm: beads, cylinder, beads, a larger bead at the middle. The look is antique and South Indian, with the minimal feel that comes from using only these few parts.

Ruby is the colour listed, and the stones in the cylinders carry it, so the colour appears as two short lines against the warm beads. That keeps the mala balanced, and it goes with a plain silk saree, a solid kurta or a simple suit. As a party wear piece it suits an evening, and the beads are the same size, so it looks tidy when you wear it with a high or round neckline.

The weight is 100 gm and the listing gives 24.5 cm. The beads and the stones are artificial, and metal alloy holds them together. A thick-style mala like this works well on its own, with small earrings. For other designs, look through beaded malas.
