Rudraksha comes from Sanskrit: “Rudra” (Shiva) + “Aksha” (eyes), or “Eyes of Shiva”. This sacred tree grows in the Himalayas, Nepal and Indonesia, and its fruits contain seeds with a unique structure – from 1 to 21 vertical lines called “mukhi”. The five-mukhi Rudraksha is the most common and auspicious.
The seeds are believed to carry cosmic energy that: – calms the mind – regulates blood pressure – removes stress and anxiety – supports meditation and concentration – serves as a spiritual shield and source of stability
There is no religious restriction – Rudraksha can be worn by anyone, regardless of faith, gender or ethnicity. It is believed that wearing it attracts Shiva’s blessing and leads toward enlightenment and liberation (moksha).
Although associated with Hinduism, Rudraksha can be worn and revered by absolutely anyone, regardless of religion, sect, skin color or gender.
It is believed that whoever wears Rudraksha by instruction or prescription will invoke and absorb the energies of Lord Shiva, while negative thoughts and emotions will be destroyed. It calms the central nervous system, normalizes blood pressure and contributes to overall strengthening of health. It protects from bad energies and heals. It has no side effects, provides a peaceful mind and prosperity to the wearer. Ancient writings claim that if a person meets death while wearing Rudraksha, they will be freed from the cycle or circle of life and death and attain moksha (liberation). These are the main qualities of Rudraksha.
Wearing a Rudraksha bracelet or necklace (Mala) provides divine protection and increases the chances of prosperity.
Rudraksha beads can be strung together as a Mala and used to count repetitions of a mantra or prayer, similar to the use of rosaries in Christianity. They usually consist of 108 beads. 108 is a sacred number in Eastern cultures. There are various adornments with different bead sizes (Rudraksha rosary-type pieces) – bracelets, prayer beads, necklaces, etc. Prayer beads are an auxiliary tool for counting prayers (mantras in the Eastern spiritual tradition).
A Mala /a special type of prayer beads/ made of Rudraksha or combined with semi-precious and precious stones has 108 beads, plus one additional, larger bead called Meru. It can be used both for japa meditation and for wearing as an accessory, imparting to its owner the qualities associated with Rudraksha.

Jewelry Sizes
Choosing the right jewelry size is essential for both comfort and appearance.
This is also one of the questions I am asked most often.
Whether it is a bracelet, ring or necklace, the right size makes the difference between “it fits” and “wow.”
In this guide, we will show you easy ways to measure your size at home – quickly and without special tools.
How to Measure Your Bracelet Size
Method 1: Using a Measuring Tape
Wrap the measuring tape around your wrist (exactly where you wear your bracelet)
Do not pull it too tight – it should feel comfortable
Note the measurement
Add:
+1 cm for a closer fit
+1.5–2 cm for a looser fit
Method 2: Using String or Ribbon
Wrap a piece of string around your wrist Mark where the ends meet Measure the length with a ruler
💡 Tip: If the bracelet is made with natural stones, it is better to choose a slightly looser size.
How Bracelet Type Affects Size
Elastic Bracelet
The most comfortable and versatile option
Stretches slightly when putting it on
Fits more closely around the wrist
If the bracelet is too small, it will feel tight and may leave marks on your wrist. It may even cause discomfort such as numbness because it restricts circulation. A bracelet that is too tight will also wear out and break more quickly.
If it is too large, it may slip off.
Recommendation: Choose +1 cm so it does not feel tight and remains comfortable
Bracelet with a Clasp
Does not stretch
Has a more structured, classic jewelry look
Requires a more precise fit with minimal extra room. We will make the bracelet with several extension rings for adjustment.
Recommendation: Choose +1.5–2 cm for comfortable freedom of movement
Shamballa / Adjustable Bracelet
Can be tightened or loosened
Suitable as a gift (less risk of choosing the wrong size)
Has a more relaxed fit on the wrist
Recommendation: Choose the closest size to the fit you want (for example 17–18 cm), because it can be adjusted
Practical tip: If the bracelet is made with larger stones (8 mm and above), add another ~0.5 cm – larger beads add volume and make the bracelet feel tighter.
Create your bracelet your way – for most of our designs, you can now choose an elastic bracelet, a clasp fastening or an adjustable Shamballa style
How to Measure Your Ring Size
There is a wide range of ring sizes.
Method 1: Using String or a Paper Strip
Wrap it around your finger
Mark where the ends meet
Measure in mm – ring sizing requires greater precision than bracelet sizing.
Method 2: Using a Ring You Already Own
Take a ring that fits you well
Measure the inside diameter
Compare it with a standard size chart
Important: Fingers can swell during the day → measure in the evening for the most accurate result.

How to Use the Chart
If you measure with string → use the circumference (mm)
If you have a ring → use the inside diameter
In Bulgaria, EU sizing is used most commonly (e.g. 52, 54, 56)
A Small Practical Tip (Very Important)
Measure in the evening – fingers are usually slightly more swollen
If you are between two sizes → choose the larger one
For wider bands → choose one size larger
How to Choose a Necklace Length
Standard lengths:
35–40 cm → choker (close around the neck)
45 cm → classic length
50–60 cm → a longer, looser necklace
Tip: If you layer necklaces, combine different lengths for a more striking look.
How to Measure Your Anklet Size
How to Measure
Wrap a measuring tape or string around your ankle
Measure exactly where you want the anklet to sit
Note the circumference
Add to the measurement:
+1–1.5 cm → a closer fit (elegant and close to the skin)
+2–2.5 cm → a looser fit (relaxed summer look)
Type of Anklet
Elastic
Fits more closely
More comfortable for everyday wear
Choose: +1–1.5 cm
With a Clasp
Does not stretch
Has a more elegant look
Choose: +2 cm
Adjustable (Shamballa / sliding closure)
Can be adjusted
Suitable as a gift
Choose a more precise size
Important: The ankle can swell during the day (especially in summer) → measure in the evening
If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Slightly loose is better than uncomfortably tight.
For Handmade Jewelry
Every piece of jewelry is unique, especially when natural stones are used.
Small variations in size are completely normal and part of their charm.
