Chef's Special Mala - 20mm Guru Heavy Metal Editions

Chef's Special Mala - 20mm Guru Heavy Metal Editions

This month’s Chef’s Special is possibly the funkiest looking mala set we’ve ever offered. It features 33 of our 8mm beads (with 3mm bore) in an alternating pattern of brass, copper, and stainless steel. That alone is pretty fresh, but what really makes the statement on this set is the gargantuan 20mm spherical guru bead closing off the set. 

These sets are available in three versions all with the same 33 bead alternating material set up but with a respective copper, brass, or stainless steel 20mm guru beads. All come strung up on our custom 2mm kevlar cord, and tied without slack.. a reminder that this is not intended as a slinging set. This is more of a quiet manipulation tool. Note that 33x 8mm beads is going to be much longer than what most folks would want for a wearable mala set. Much like the Chef’s special we ran recently with the 14mm Milos, this set is designed for breath work and mindfulness first and foremost. You can easily pop your hand through it so it sits on the wrist while you’re using your hands for other things, but it’s gonna be loose. 

For anyone wanting to customize or adjust the sets, its an easy enough weekend project but feel free to check out the October 2025 launch video for instructions on stringing up the Guru beads themselves.
