MBOX Brand Hand Carved Tibetan Buddhist Prayer Bracelet Mala

Upon opening the box/faux-tulle bag, I was like "wow, these are made of solid quality wood". And they are...the bracelet literally has weight to it; a good indication of a quality product. The engravings on each wooden bead are also rather concise as well - which definitely gives this item a real sense of authenticity, even though each bead is likely pressed through a mold. Either way, I really like it.So, why only 4 stars then, you ask? Because I believe that the images are a mildly false representation of what color/color variation of wood you'll get. The wood these beads are made from is GREEN green. Not like, lime green or something of the sort, but green enough to where I was asking myself - "what the----where'd the brown??!". If you rotate the beads a bit on their stringed-axis, you'll find hints of brown and such, but not the sort of contrasty color that you see in the images. I know this listing says "green wood", but consumers are visual shoppers these days and the image shows a tasteful and visually appealing combination of rich, luminescent browns and greens that look absolutely amazing. The bracelet itself is nothing of the sort.I am contemplating sending it back JUST to see if I will get one that actually represents the image of what I ordered more precisely. I like the earth/warm wood tones with the green accents. Not----dark green wood with some browns to it. As a matter of fact, after writing this, I believe that is precisely what I will do. If I remember, I'll update this feedback with what the second one actually looks like.

I bought 2 of these bracelets, one for me, one for a friend. When I received them, they were in a tulle bag (which was pretty). When I pulled them out, I noticed how big each skull was (just a hair smaller than a dime), making each bracelet a tad on the bulky side. While pretty, this is not a bracelet for everyone due to the size of the howlite skulls.While wearing them, if your wrists are larger then 6 inches in circumference, you will have indentions left in your skin from the skulls. They are on an elastic cord, which is wonderful in its own right, but it can get a little tight on the wrist.

The band is too small for larger wrists, and it uses a very taught elastic, causing the beads to dig in uncomfortably. Additionally, the golden writing on the beads is done with some sort of glitter-paint, which not only rubs off (which I sort of expected) but leaves glitter all over my wrist (which I did not). Basically, it's a decent product but you get what you pay for and sometimes you get less.

I've had these forever now and the review is long overdue. I've had absolutely no issues with this bracelet and I wear it everyday. I don't pay attention to pressure used when tugging or banging my wrist around but these are still going strong. Looks the way I bought it day 1 and love the simple yet awesome bracelet. The elastic band is really strong. I believe you guys will enjoy their products like I do.

I got my turquoise skull beads in 19 days! Im so happy they came really fast. I love the color and the size which is about the size of a dime also the detail of the skulls is amazing just like the picture! I will be buying from them again. Im a happy customer and I recommend this shop! And this was my first time buying from them. They also came in a really cute draw string bag. I really am so happy about this purchase.

I got my beads a day earlier than expected looks better than i imagined, bigger than i expected. The only problem i have so far is the gold paint is rubbing off and i just got it. Other than that, so far, its pretty good.

wears nice and all, but i missed the part in the description that says "imitation bamboo", which basically means at $24 I spent about $10 too much.other then the price for what you are getting, and the less the steller feel of the beads (they feel like plastic) the bracelet itself looks great on the arm, especially if you mix it up with a brown/natural leather bracelet.

The black color is fading from one or two beads but it's still in a good shape.I suggest whose wrist are thiner to buy this product because my wrist is just enough to fit it. (Age 21 male)
