Q:
Are these rudraksha beads authentic, and where are they sourced from? Thank you.
Best regards,
Edward Loomis
A:
Hello Edward, thanks so much for reaching out to us! Seed beads do not traditionally come with a certificate of authenticity, but I want to assure you that we have worked with our mala team in Kathmandu for over 20 years, and their methods and religious beliefs are to source genuine materials ethically with sustainable methods. Know that all of the rudraksha malas in our collection are genuine and would be a wonderful addition to your daily practice. Also, I have included our about us page below, which details many of the artisans groups we work with along with Dipendra and his mala making team. I hope this information is helpful! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. We appreciate your support of Himalayan artisans!
