Step 1: Decide the purpose
Daily wear, meditation, gifting, or collection changes what you should pick. Daily wear favors smaller beads and lower maintenance; collection favors higher grade and larger beads.
Step 2: Match bead size to presence
- 8mm — quiet, easy daily wear
- 10–12mm — balanced daily wear and collection
- 14mm and above — collector-grade presence
Step 3: Check the wrist fit
Measure the narrowest part of your wrist and allow 0.5–1 cm of ease.
Step 4: Read the aroma profile
Cooling and sweet, resinous and warm, or woody and calm — choose a profile that fits how you want to feel when wearing it.
Step 5: Confirm the grade and care
Ask for origin, grade, and care instructions. A good seller will tell you exactly what you are buying and how to keep it.
