Bead

About

Inspired by the Tang Dynasty's Famen Temple “Silver Flower Double-Wheel Twelve-Ring Khakkhara,” this bead distills its essence into a modern interpretation of Zen wisdom. The four-ring design reflects the Four Noble Truths—suffering, origin, cessation, and path—serving as a subtle yet profound reminder of balance and clarity. The Khakkhara head, sculpted in sterling silver with flowing lines, mirrors the sacred pagoda form, while the bronze rings shimmer like shifting halos, merging solemn heritage with contemporary elegance. More than an ornament, it is a symbol of enlightenment—where one ring less is attachment, and one ring more is excess.

Meticulously handcrafted, the bead is cast in aged S925 silver, with every groove replicating the grandeur of Tang Dynasty artistry. The four bronze rings contrast in texture, dancing with light and movement. Detailed engravings breathe life into its Khakkhara-inspired top, preserving the solemnity of its origin while infusing a modern sense of fluidity. Designed for versatility, it pairs effortlessly with 108-bead malas or standalone hand accessories, swaying with every motion like a whispered mantra in the wind. With a precise borehole, it accommodates 1.2mm to 1.5mm artisan strings, striking the perfect balance between aesthetics and function.

A spiritual emblem, a collector's treasure, and a refined addition to any mala, the Khakkhara Disciple Bead is more than an accessory—it is a personal statement. Whether anchoring a prayer cycle, enhancing your meditation practice, or adding a cultured edge to your jewelry, its blend of history and design makes it a must-have. Thoughtful yet bold, it's an exquisite gift for seekers of wisdom, lovers of fine craftsmanship, and those who appreciate heritage redefined for the modern age.
