Guru Beads/Knots

I sell loose Guru Beads and Snake Knots for anyone interested in making their own Mala as well as other craftspeople who create and sell Malas.

The Guru Beads are available as 10mm by default or you can up-size them to 12mm.

I drill all Guru Beads myself with a diamond-tipped bit on a Foredom Machine. The original hole in the bead is enlarged to 2mm and I drill an additional 2mm hole perpendicular to the original hole. This perpendicular hole stops at the original hole forming a "T".

Bulk Guru Beads are sold individually so you can mix and match as many as you want.

Please note that I do not sell the cone shaped extension beads you find with mass-produced Malas. I prefer to use simple "stacked" 8mm beads in place of these. If you want to add two of these 8mm beads of the same stone type per Guru Bead you can add that as an option. I will re-drill the holes in the "stacked" beads out to 2mm. Alternately, you can add a small wood barrel bead (either light wood or black) as an optional extension

I also sell loose Snake Knots. I hand-tie all of these myself including the ends and I heat-seal the final portion of the ends to insure they don't come loose. The Snake Knots come at about 3.75" to 4" in over-all length. If you want them longer or shorter let me know- the length will be within .25" of your request.

With the Snake Knots you can choose cord color (red, black, purple).
