Inspired by Buddhist teachings, Ms Caroline advocates sustainable and ethical business practices while supporting and serving others in need. This belief drives the company’s slogan of “Purpose over profit.”

The History and Purpose of Mala Beads

One of the company’s products is Mala beads woven into bracelets and necklaces by women from Northern India.

The earliest known appearance of mala necklaces and bracelets was from 3,000 years ago when Buddhists and Hindus would recite a prayer for their Japa or ceremonial meditation.

Today, mala beads are often used by enthusiasts who need a little help in focusing when they meditate or do yoga.

Mala, which is the Sanskrit for “garland,” is sacred in India. People use jewellery made with mala beads to enhance their spiritual practice and mindfulness which can have a positive impact on their mental health.

Elizabeth Caroline brings the essence of mala beads and jewellery to customers from all over the country and abroad.

Creating Spiritual Jewellery with Respect

Elizabeth Caroline entrusts the creation of mala jewellery to the talented women in India. Each handcrafted piece of jewellery consists of 108 beads. At the centre of the bracelet or necklace is a large bead called the guru. Each piece is also adorned with tassels, gemstones and other meaningful charms.

The company aims to preserve the essence of these spiritual beads by respecting their origins and hiring the right people to make them.
