Red Coral Bead Bracelet
- In stock, ready to ship
Coral is considered auspicious and is worn in the necklace by almost all the women of Kumaon and among the Tibetans as well. Red Coral is a fossil coral meaning it's the remains of old coral and has been dyed red. The ones being traded are the traditional ones Tibetans wear traditionally. It is believed to be advantageous to one's health and protects from the danger of widowhood, as well as bringing good luck or good fortune to the house. Coral also quiets the emotions and brings peace and harmony to the surroundings.
Red is related to life force and preservation. The Buddha Amitabha is depicted with a red body in Tibetan art. The part of the body associated with this color is the tongue. Fire is the natural element complementary to the color red. In Buddhism, meditating on the color red transforms the delusion of attachment into the wisdom of discernment.
Sizing Guide
For a frame of reference a dime is about 18 millimeters. 8 millimeters is a good size for the average wrist. 6 millimeters are usually preferred by women. And 10 millimeters are for those that have an average male wrist size but like the look of bigger beads; or for those with above average wrist sizes.
Sizing Note:
If you would like a better fit for the bracelet please note wrist size or loose / tight fit preference, and we will custom make the best bracelet for you. You can do this in the note section at checkout.

If you have received an item in error or it has arrived damaged, please contact us before sending it our way.

We want to hear from you! Send us an email or call us anytime. Thanks so much!
You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (10-14 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).
We also offer restringing services. The artisan made nature of our designs means we may not have all of the materials needed for restringing, but please reach out to us first, and know we are happy to help in anyway we can. Over time and with use, every mala will need maintenance and repairs. We can help do the work for you, with you, or provide some of the supplies or know-how. We can only restring/repair malas that were purchased from mandalatibetstore. Please let us know if your mala has been damaged or worn out prematurely. We are here to help!
