Welcome to our world of Buddhist Malas!

Sacred Buddhist mala beads have been used for centuries by many spiritual traditions as a tool to help to calm the mind, center oneself and connect to the best that is within us. The word “Mala” means necklace or garland in Sanskrit, and refers to a strand or beads used for prayer. Sakura Designs is an artisan company of inspired, mala bead makers, who practice mantra, meditation and yoga. We are based in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, USA. We have over 400 different Buddhist Malas, Mala Necklaces, Tibetan Malas and Yoga Prayer Beads, as well as imported and hand made mala bracelets, crafted from a rainbow of natural gemstones. We also offer custom designs if you have a special creation in mind, and mala repairs when your beads breaks. Our mala prayer beads are made with select, natural healing gemstones and quality mala woods, bodhi malas and rudraksha beads, and even genuine Swarovski Crystal!
