Frequently Asked Questions

Are your pieces made with real gemstones?

Yes! Our jewelry is carefully handcrafted with love, care, and positive intentions using genuine semi-precious gemstones and high-quality accents such as Swarovski crystals, sterling silver, electroplated gold, and silk thread. We take pride in using high-quality materials to create a luxurious and elegant jewelry line.

What sizes do your pieces come in?

Bracelets are made on a high-quality stretchy cord, usually with a standard size of 7”. Necklaces come in standard sizes of 16”, 18”, and 20” unless otherwise specified. Malas range between 18” and 23”. For more details, please refer to each product description.

What is a Mala?

Mala means “garland” in Sanskrit. This string of prayer beads helps focus one’s awareness and concentration during meditation. The traditional Mala has 108 beads, which represent the wholeness of the universe. Gemstones carry different healing properties and qualities. By wearing a healing crystal Mala with specific gemstones, you can capture the power of the crystal to activate the inner healing and manifestation process.

How do I choose and activate my Mala?

There is no right or wrong way to choose your mala - the mala will choose you. You are attracted to your mala for a reason; it might be a healing aspect or a purpose… Once you choose your mala, set your intention and activate it by burning the enclosed sage. Light the sage and let the smoke billow over your mala, then set your intention. Your mala is now ready to serve its purpose.

How do I use my Mala?

During meditation, hold your mala in one hand. Start with the guru bead by holding it between your thumb and middle finger, then move your fingers along each bead and repeat your mantra. The index finger represents the ego, so try not to use it as you meditate. During a yoga class, you may also place your mala at the top of your mat to remind you of your intention throughout your practice.

What does a purchase of a Mala come with?

With every purchase of a Be The Light Mala, you will receive a keepsake box or pouch, a mini sage cone for activating your Mala, and a card that explains how to activate and use your Mala.

How should I care for my Be The Light jewelry?

Be the Light jewelry is handcrafted with natural gemstones, making it both durable and delicate. To keep your piece in beautiful condition, avoid wearing it while swimming, showering, or engaging in physical activity. Clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth, or use mild soap and water when necessary—just be sure to dry thoroughly. Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place or in your Be the Light box or pouch. To restore its natural energy, place your piece under the sun or a full moon for at least 4 hours once a month.

What should I do if I ever lose my mala or if it breaks?

In ancient tradition, on the rare occasion that a mala goes missing or breaks, it’s said to symbolize that you’ve outgrown the intention associated with that piece. Therefore, you can bury it and return the stones to Mother Earth. It’s also a great opportunity to set new intentions.

Can you make me a custom creation?
