I have purchased several Mala Bead Bracelets from the Dharmashop, and all I can say is that you will never be disappointed. The piece that I received yesterday could have been the piece that was used in the photo exact match. Great coloration, construction and bead size is excellent. I don't know which one is my favorite they are all treasures. Thank You Dharmashop for all the time and effort you put forward for all of us.
