Ægir: The Sea Personified

In Norse mythology, the name Ægir translates to "ocean." Ægir and his wife Ran are seen as the animating powers of the ocean and it's various qualities. Ægir is often portrayed as a gracious host to the gods, and personifies the more benevolent aspects of the sea, while Ran seems to correspond to its more sinister aspects, usually mentioned in the context of growing unfortunate seafarers and dragging them down to the depths of the sea. Together the couple has nine daughters, often interpreted as being spirits of the waves.

All of our malas are made with genuine high quality semi-precious stones that each carry their own special and specific energetic properties to help you attract or overcome certain feelings, thoughts and emotions.

This adjustable mala bracelet is part of our Element Collection, representing the Water Element. Our bracelets are perfect for stacking and layering.

This bracelet features a beautiful Triratna pattern emphasizing groupings of 3, with marker beads between each set. While these bracelets do not contain the sacred 27 beads for counting mantras as a quarter portion of a full-size 108 bead mala, the number three is sacred in Buddhism as well. In Buddhism, the number 3 can be seen to represent the Three Jewels (the Triratna) that make up Buddhism. These are: The Buddha, The Dharma (The body of teachings that describe Buddhist doctrine and belief), and The Sangha (The group of people who follow the Buddha and his teachings).

Elements: Sea Sediment Jasper, with frosted white Sea Glass marker beads and sliding bead as an adjustable clasp.

Thread: This bracelet has been strung with white color Nylon thread for its strength and durability, especially important when working with natural stones, as their hard edges can sometimes rub against and weaken other threads such as cotton or silk.

All of our malas are hand-knotted between each bead, which protects your beads should the necklace ever break. It also helps alleviate potential damage caused by beads rubbing against each other.

Note: This bracelet is available in three different lengths, with either 6mm or 8mm beads. Since these bracelets are adjustable, measurements reflect the shortest (fully closed) length of each size. Sizes are as follows:

Small - 6.25" (6mm or 8mm)
Medium - 7.5" (6mm or 8mm)
Large - 8.75" (6mm) or 9" (8mm)

Please note that due to the unique, hand-knotted nature of our jewelry, sizes may vary slightly from one piece to another. Please specify bead size and bracelet length during checkout.

All our intention bracelet designs are also available in 108 bead malas and 27 bead pocket malas, as well as more delicate wire-wrapped jewelry.
