Week 1-2: Material Selection and Preparation

Our artisans carefully source the finest botanicals:

• White sandalwood from sustainable plantations
• Lotus seeds from sacred temple ponds
• Rare snow lotus from high-altitude regions (ethically harvested)
• Each ingredient is inspected for purity and energetic quality

Week 3-4: Traditional Stone Grinding

Using centuries-old techniques:

• Each botanical is ground separately using stone mills
• No heat or metal blades that could damage aromatic compounds
• The grinding process preserves the vital energy (qi) of each ingredient
• Powders are sifted to achieve uniform texture

Week 5-6: Artisanal Blending

Master blenders combine the ingredients:

• Following traditional formulas passed down through generations
• Proportions carefully measured for optimal fragrance and energy
• Natural binding agents added to form a workable paste
• The blend is kneaded by hand to ensure even distribution

Week 7-8: Bead Formation

Each bead is individually crafted:

• Rolled by hand to achieve consistent size and shape
• Slight variations are natural and add to the handmade character
• Beads are placed on bamboo trays to begin drying

Week 9-10: Natural Ageing Process

Patience is essential:

• Beads are aged in controlled conditions (temperature and humidity)
• No chemical accelerants or artificial drying methods
• The fragrance deepens and mellows naturally
• Beads are turned regularly to ensure even ageing

Week 11-12: Polishing and Assembly

The final touches:

• Each bead is hand-polished using natural oils
• Inspected for quality and consistency
• Threaded onto waxed cotton cord with secure knots between beads
• Adjustable closure mechanism added
• Final quality check before packaging

Total Time: 10-12 weeks from raw materials to finished bracelet

During Meditation Practice:

1. Wear on your left wrist (traditionally the “receiving” side) to invite calm energy
2. Focus on the fragrance as you settle into your practice
3. Use as a mala: Count breaths or mantras by moving each bead between fingers
4. Visualisation: Imagine each bead as a snow lotus petal opening in your heart centre
5. Touchstone: Gently press a bead between thumb and finger to anchor yourself in the present moment

For Yoga and Breathwork:

• Wear during practice to enhance the aromatic experience
• The subtle scent complements pranayama (breath control) exercises
• Remove during intense sweaty practices to preserve the beads

As Daily Wearable Aromatherapy:

• Wear throughout the day as a constant mindfulness reminder
• Body heat naturally releases waves of fragrance
• Touch gently when you need to centre yourself
• Pairs beautifully with both casual and elegant attire

To Intensify Fragrance:

• Rub the bracelet gently between your palms for 10-15 seconds
• Your body heat will activate the aromatic compounds
• Perfect before meditation or when you need a moment of calm

Ritual Use:

• New moon intentions: Set intentions while holding each bead
• Full moon release: Release what no longer serves you, bead by bead
• Morning practice: Start your day with gratitude for each bead
• Evening reflection: Review your day mindfully, one bead at a time

Daily Care Guidelines:

• Remove before water exposure: Showering, swimming, washing dishes
• Avoid chemicals: Perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, hand sanitiser
• Store properly: Use the provided breathable cotton pouch when not wearing
• Handle gently: Natural materials are delicate—treat with care
• Keep dry: If beads get wet, pat gently with a soft cloth and air dry completely

Storage Recommendations:

• Store in the cotton pouch in a cool, dry place
• Avoid direct sunlight (can fade colour and diminish fragrance)
• Don’t store in plastic bags (beads need to breathe)
• Keep away from extreme temperatures
• Store separately from other jewellery to prevent damage

Preserving Fragrance:

• Fragrance will naturally soften over 6-12 months
• This is normal and part of the natural lifecycle
• To extend life: wear less frequently and store properly
• The bracelet remains beautiful even after fragrance fades

When Fragrance Diminishes:

• Beads become neutral but still serve as meditation tools
• Can be kept as meaningful jewellery
• 100% biodegradable—can be composted or buried in your garden
• Returns nutrients to the earth, completing the natural cycle

Important Safety Notes:

• Not recommended for children under 12
• Do not ingest or place near open flames
• If skin irritation occurs (rare), discontinue use
• Keep away from pets
• Each bracelet is handmade; slight variations in size, colour, and fragrance intensity are normal and add to its unique character
