I have combined 108 natural Old Phoebe wood beads with a lovely antique looking Tibetan prayer wheel (paper prayer inside) and a light gray tassel made from Lithuanian linen thread. After the 21st bead, I have placed a Czech glass spacer bead surrounded by small brass spacers. The colors are neutral so you can wear it when you dress up to go out at night or with jeans and a t-shirt. Om mani padme hum, the most common mantra used in Tibetan Buddhism, is written on the prayer wheel. The 8mm beads measure 17 1/2", the prayer wheel and brass spacer beads measure 1 1/2" and the tassel is 5". I will send your Mala in an organza gift bag.Enjoy :)
