ST-23 | Orange Guru Bead with Copper Detail - 10.8 mm

Work an orange focal detail and a copper accent into a personal mala project. Use this guru bead to bring your own bead arrangement together.

Let the orange detail become a focal point in your color arrangement. Compare it with the beads you already have, then adjust the surrounding sequence so that the guru bead and copper detail have a considered place in the design.

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.
