We recognised the need for something tangible to support spiritual practice combined with fashion in the everyday world. We found, as others have, that malas (Bracelets) helped carry our spiritual focus into all aspects of daily life. Making malas gradually evolved as part of our practice. 

Malas seem to speak directly to the heart. The range of spirituality is very wide and individuals are often drawn to very different styles and "feels," of malas. Part of our mission is to assist in this to provide unique malas and help individuals find the one right for them. As a result, our malas are very different from one another, from the crystals and precious stones to the earthy, from amethyst to onyx, from sandalwood to rosewood and bodhi seed.

Shangri-La is truly a new fashion jewellery statement and endeavour. We actively search for components, large and small, which help the mala realise itself. We like to combine the old with the new, we generally use components that have been part of religious traditions for thousands of years alongside new fashionable stones such as the crystals. 

There is a mental process as well as a physical one. During the construction process, our team of craftsman in Tibet, try to work from the mind of meditation and pure intention, believing that the attitude of mind in which a mala (Bracelet) is designed and constructed is both an offering and an important part of the spirituality of the mala. 

When the mala is finished, we put it in a modern box to give it a luxurious and modern look. 

We sincerely hope that we have done our best and that it will find its true owner and be of service on his or her path.
