The mala features 108 smooth 8 mm matte onyx stone beads with a soft non-reflective finish that creates a modern yet timeless appearance. The matte texture gives the mala a calming and understated elegance suitable for both spiritual practice and daily wear.

At the center sits a 10 mm brass guru bead engraved with the Tibetan mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum,” adding sacred symbolism and artisan detail to the design. The warm brass tone contrasts beautifully with the deep black onyx beads, creating a balanced and refined visual aesthetic.
