Exactly what I wanted, but more importantly, what I needed.

I contacted Heather and Golden Lotus Mala about some specific needs regarding my practice and my headspace (I am 30 days sober as of writing this review). Notably, I was hoping to find a masculine mala that I could both wrap around my wrist, and wear as a necklace, using amethyst and lava stone. She answered promptly, and offered ideas and solutions I hadn't considered, one of which was having a wrist mala AND a traditional mala made. After a few emails back and forth, I put my trust in her and made the order. I am beyond pleased with the results! I am using my traditional mala in my meditation and my wrist mala is worn daily to keep me grounded. I don't believe I could be happier with the service and product of Golden Lotus Mala.

Excellent all-around

My mala arrived in a quick and reasonable time, and is very well made. The knots between each bead are secure and even; the cord and tassel are spun well and I have no worries about their ability to hold up to regular use. The wood and stone beads are secure and I have trust that they are sturdy. All the pictures are true to appearance, the storage bag is secure, and the bare energy in the beads is palpable. It's obvious that Heather chooses excellent the materials. No need to look elsewhere. I 100% recommend, and I will be back!

Simply astounding.

I was a little hesitant to undertake a custom Mala for my first, especially from a company that is new to me. However, it is absolutely breathtaking. The stone selection of each stone (I checked!) is of a higher quality than I have been able to find myself online or in stores. The hand knots are tight and consistent throughout, the stones themselves seem to be selected as a whole batch (as the African Turquoise for example can vary much more blue, or more of a mottled/mixed blue) and the balance is excellent.

It sounds a bit cliché, but this was a really important Mala for me and I could not have imagined it better myself. Absolutely jazzed about the opportunity to carry this into my practice. Thank you!

The custom mala that Heather of Golden Lotus made me is even more beautiful than I envisioned! The process was super easy and she got it to me very fast! Thank you so much 🙏📿

The Embodiment of Beauty & Spirit

I am a visual artist with an obsessively discriminating eye. I spent months obsessing over every detail of my custom mala and Heather responded to all my questions and concerns over the course of more than a dozen emails with patient grace and graceful patience. My mala is the embodiment of beauty and spirit which I have no doubt is a reflection of its maker.

mala beads

I did a custom order of my mala beads, but I also have had regular orders in the past from this company. They never disappoint. Heather is so kind and always puts her love and creativity into each strand. I love my beads and have given several away as gifts, I am ordering another one as we speak.

Magnificent custom mala

Just received my first custom mala from Golden Lotus, and it's absolutely magnificent! Quality materials, beautifully made, with delightful extra touches. Exactly what I needed for my meditation practice. I've used other custom mala providers in the past, and this one really stands out for the lovely stones and the careful attention to detail. Highly recommended!

Peace Within Mala

Being educated about the Mala and its background has enlightened me to a new world of inner peace. I wear it constantly, fidgeting with it, finding myself sitting running my fingers over the stones and meditating without thinking about it. That's what I mean by inner peace. It just comes to you. Thank you... I can't express my gratitude.

Worth the purchase

This is the first time that we've made a purchase with Golden Lotus Mala. I ordered a custom made Mala Bead Necklace and also ordered a Surya Mala Bead Necklace for my wife. I needed a new Mala Bead Necklace for protection, grounding & energy, since my old Mala Bead Necklace recently got broken. As for my wife, she is an artist /creative person is reason why I got her the Surya Mala Bead Necklace. Upon wearing my necklace, I can feel Heather has put love & positive energy into making both of our necklaces...we are forever grateful for such a finely crafted Mala Bead Necklace....Namaste

Another Great Mala

This was my fifth custom mala made by Golden Lotus and I couldnt be more satisfied. I picked the stones and had Heather do the arrangement as I know she makes beautiful malas. My wife loved it. I'll never look elsewhere for a mala.

Gorgeous Custom Mala so easy to order

Truthfully, I would have been happy with any of the malas on this site, but I'm so glad Heather offered a a custom mala. Why NOT pick exactly the stones I wanted? Picking the beads, the end style, the guru bead, and leaving the design up to Heather were great options. Don't be afraid, Heather will help you. The result is a gorgeous, personal mala that's a fantastic meditation tool.

Beautiful and the Perfect Weight

This is my first mala from this crafter and it is beautiful. I was looking for a full size mala I could wear that is durable and this fit the bill. It settles with a good weight around my neck and reminds me of my focus throughout the day. Thank you for the excellent work. It is a work of art that I am proud to wear every day.

Custom Mala Peaceful Beauty

When wanting to do custom Mala bead necklaces, I had certain intentions in mind, along with colors that I was drawn to. After doing some research on the web, I reached out to Golden Lotus Mala, Heather, whose reviews made me confident I had found the right person. Heather was so gracious and kind and wanted to take the time to help make my vision for my Mala beads come true. Through emails we connected and she began with her thoughts and ideas for what may be nice for me. Because I had several questions, it was easier to reach out by phone and I received a call from Heather. I knew at that moment that there was a connection with someone who truly had a caring and wanted whatever she made to be perfect for that person. After discussing beads, layout and more, I truly felt I was in kind and caring hands and when meditating on my daily basis, would be holding a Mala necklace that would bring calm and peacefulness.
I received my Mala's quickly, and when opening the beautifully boxed beads, the design and everything Heather promised to do, was right there, in my hands, I instantly felt a calm come over me.I can not say enough positives about Heather and Golden Lotus Mala that would ever be enough. She made my visions come true and each day as I meditate, I have once more reason to be grateful and feel blessed for the connection and good fortune of this kind lady.
Be Happy, Be peaceful, Be spiritually healthy!!
Love, Ellen

Love it!

I was impressed by the quality and craftsmanship in my custom Mala order. There is a weight and smoothness to the beads that feels good in your hands or on your neck. Heather did a great job choosing little accent beads to tie my choices together.

Peaceful Easy Feeling

The mala I ordered was so perfect, it made me want to cry. I researched stones for the help I needed and I really had no idea what to do beyond that. Heather put the stones together in a pattern that works perfectly for me. It looks, and feels, like something welcoming that I will be using for years. Thank you, Heather! You have a gift.

Personal perfection

Knowing what I want to work on in my life, I wanted to create my own unique mala supporting those issues. After researching the attributes of the different gems, I arranged the stones in a pattern that would speak to me, and I must have succeeded relaying my concept because when the mala arrived and I pulled it from its pouch, I felt a warmth in my heart that brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for your beautiful artistry. my ideas because when the mala arrived, and I pulled it out of its pouch, I felt a warmth in my heart that brought happy years to my eyes

Beautiful Artisan Malas

The malas I received from Golden Lotus Mala are all simply exquisite, and I have ordered multiple times based on their quality and beauty! The love, care, and talent that goes in to making each piece is clear. So far, I have ordered one zodiac mala and two custom order malas, as well as two bracelets. I couldn't be happier with every piece, and I plan to order more in the future for gifts as well as for myself. In addition, the customer service, attention to detail in packaging and in shipping information, and speed in which my orders came couldn't be beat. Thank you Heather! You are amazing!

Beyond my wildest expectations

The custom Mala I ordered is simply stunning. Other than choosing the beads, I let the artist design it and I couldn't be happier. It feels like it was always meant to be mine. It made me so happy and fulfilled just receiving it. Looking at it and touching helps me to keep my intentions in the fore front of my mind. Thank you!
