Where the ocean meets intention. Puka shells have been worn as symbols of good luck and protection for centuries — carried by ocean currents and shaped by the sea into something quietly beautiful. This handcrafted mala brings that natural energy into your everyday, blending coastal bohemian style with the grounding tradition of the mala. The kind of piece that feels like a little piece of the ocean, wherever you are. Made by skilled artisans in India, each shell bead is individually strung by hand and finished with a flowing tassel. At 16" necklace length it sits at a flattering collarbone-to-chest drop — easy to layer with longer pieces from our spiritual jewelry collection or wear solo as a statement. Finished with nickel, cadmium, and lead-free metals, it's as gentle on your skin as it is on your spirit. The kind of thing that's made to last, not manufactured to move.
