Men's Prayer Beads, Starry Moon Bodhi Seed, Jade Finish, Shingon Sect

The starry moon bodhi seed is the fruit of the bodhi tree native to Hainan Island, China, named for the countless small black flecks across its surface resembling stars, and the single larger mark left where the stem once attached, evoking the moon. Since ancient times, the starry moon bodhi seed has been believed to represent the universe itself, and by extension, the world of the Buddha, giving this material a distinctly mystical quality treasured in prayer beads. Here, the popular starry moon bodhi seed is paired with equally prized jade for a balanced, contemplative design.
