Guru beads are traditionally used in making mala jewelry. Malas are used with a prayer or a mantra to meditate. Almost all malas feature a guru bead that begins and ends the design. The guru bead signifies the end of one round in the prayer circle. An authentic mala typically contains 108 beads plus a guru bead as the 109th bead.
This guru bead is made from lead-free pewter that has been plated in sterling silver.
