ST-15 | Tourmaline Guru Bead with Copper Detail - 14.3 mm

Bring tourmaline and a copper detail into your next mala project. Use this guru bead as a focal finishing element in a personal bead arrangement.

The tourmaline component and copper detail give you a material pairing to build around. Lay out the surrounding beads first and compare their proportions with the guru bead section before choosing the final sequence.

Design & Project Ideas

A guru bead forms a focal finishing point in a mala arrangement. When planning your project, consider the route of the cord through the three-hole design as well as the position of any knots and other finishing components.

Planning Your Beadwork

Use the listed 1.2 mm hole measurement as a starting point when selecting cord. Allow room for the threading route and any repeated passes; the cord may need to be thinner than the stated opening. Test the fit gently before assembling the whole piece.

Lay out your design before stringing and check the finished length, spacing, and knot positions. These are project ideas; choose the other beads and findings to suit your own construction.

Care

Handle gently while assembling. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use, avoid abrasive cleaners, and store separately from tools and harder components that could mark the surface.
