Heart Sutra Engraved Striped Ebony, Bale-Shaped Crystal Bracelet

A Bracelet Inscribed with the Full Heart Sutra

The beauty of this bracelet lies in the natural texture and form of the wood beads. The striped ebony used here is a high-quality wood, hard and lustrous, with a distinctive character all its own — its glossy black gives the piece an air of luxury and refinement. It sits comfortably in the hand and is easy to wear, making it a popular choice. Each bead is engraved with part of the Heart Sutra, and reading them in order reveals the full sutra, which teaches that all things in this world are 'emptiness' (ku) — a truth said to underlie all existence. The bale-shaped beads in between are crystal, whose clear tone beautifully complements the black of the ebony.
