Shakya Design is a family business and
make all of our malas ourselves.
David, Kate and Thea design each mala and
Thea does all of the
actual construction.
There is a mental process as well as a physical one.
During the construction process, we try to work from
the mind of meditation and pure intention, believing
that the attitude of mind in which a mala is designed
and constructed is both an offering and an important
part of the mala.

Turquoise Bracelet Mala with Coral
"The mala arrived this morning, and before even opening the package my day became joyous!
Inside I found a beautiful peice of wearable art; truely, the pictures do not to this elegant mala justice.
Not only is it lovely to look at, but it is a joy to feel and to wear. Every bead, every knot, indeed every
fiber of this mala feels right, with mindfulness being crafted into its very essence. It has already become
a part of me, even after having it for less than a day. It is one of a few things in life that truely lives up to
expectations. There are no words that can properly express what it means to me, how truely treasured your
creation is! I humbly and sincerely thank you for this most precious item."

"A very dear friend gave me a wonderful present today---a conch shell bracelet mala.
These remarkable beads-balanced with translucent, golden amber--are a tribute to the
simple, yet beautiful, purpose of the natural world recognized in the rich imagination of
Shakya Design. Within our faith, the conch shell is an emblem of strength, symbolizing
the power of the Buddha's teachings. As an instrument, its holy sound stretches across
the breadth of space and time and signifies right speech, the third aspect of our eightfold
path. For me, the conch also represents the wonder of impermanence and the continuum
of time, making it the perfect gift for someone cherished as it can represent the precious
moments and relationships we share...no matter how far apart we are.
Thank you so very, very much. I will treasure this gift always...
