Joseph Brooks Antique Tibetan Prayer Bead Bracelet with Carnelian

These Bodhi tree beads are strung with a 12mm carnelian agate center stone on a hand-knotted adjustable cord bracelet with the artist’s initials on a sterling silver charm. 

These Tibetan antique prayer beads were collected by Joseph Brooks on the Tibetan Plateau. They are seeds from the Bodhi Tree which is the tree that the Buddha sat under when he achieved enlightenment. They have a wonderful patina from being worn for many years and so do not wash to preserve the oils. 

Handcrafted in Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A.
