Story & tradition
Red sandalwood, Pterocarpus santalinus, is native to southern India. Despite its common name, it is botanically distinct from aromatic white sandalwood and is appreciated primarily for its richly coloured timber.
In contemplative wear, its warm red tone is often associated with vitality, discipline and a steady devotional rhythm.
How to wear
- 01
Wear alone for a warm, understated look or combine with darker beads for contrast.
- 02
A comfortably fitted bracelet can serve as a simple cue for daily prayer or mindful pauses.
- 03
Choose pieces with traceable, responsible sourcing because the species is endangered in the wild.
Care for your piece
- 01
Avoid soaking and remove before bathing or swimming.
- 02
Keep perfume, sanitiser and cleaning products away from the beads.
- 03
Wipe with a soft cloth and store dry; the surface will develop character naturally with wear.
