How to Choose the Correct Mala Bracelet Size

BEAD SIZE: choose 8mm or 10mm beads
WRIST SIZE: measure around your wrist in cm

  • Measure the circumference of your wrist in centimetres (cm) using a tape measure.
    This measurement is based on your wrist size and also how loose or tight you would like your wrist mala.
  • Choose the size of mala bracelet that is closest to your wrist size.
  • Mala bracelets & beaded bracelets are adjustable using a slide knot – when opened they are an extra 6 – 7cm longer to allow for going over the hand, please see our adjustable wrist mala guide
We use an auspicious number of beads for our mala bracelets; these are divisions of 108 (that’s 18 beads and 27 beads) or 21 beads for 21 mantra practice.
We also offer 23 bead mala bracelets, these are based on wrist size rather than the number of beads.
