Rudraksha 5-Faced Beads 7-8mm

Rudraksha beads are the pits of the fruit harvested from the rudraksha tree. The bead name is a combination of the Hindu words for “Shiva” and “Eye”, making these beads “The Tears of Shiva”. Traditionally with 5 distinct ‘faces’, these cocoon-like beads are used to protect one’s energy. Use these beads when you travel or face adverse situations, and to ward of negative energy. Rudraksha is believed to have calming and rejuvenating qualities. We suggest using 4ply waxed linen or .5mm C-lon to string these beads.
