# Luxurious Prayer Necklaces Banzai Child's Mala Bead Jewelry Mixes Meditation and High Fashion By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-12-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mala-bead-jewelry References: [banzaichild](http://www.banzaichild.com/malas) & [squareup](https://squareup.com/market/banzai-child/leather-child) Reminiscent of the dark, luxurious aesthetic of Alexander McQueen, the [mala bead jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird) by Banzai Child is the perfect way to celebrate your spirituality and love of fashion. The [made-to-order mala beads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-bracelet) are strung together with [healing gemstones and jewels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-carter-designs) like onyx and jasper, Swarovski crystals, Pyrite skulls, and leathery tassels. Although there are dozens of designs to choose from, with names like Pure, Queen, Free Soul, Leather Child and Stone Fox, it's apparent that each piece by Banzai Child has its own unique personality. In terms of price, you can definitely find cheaper mala beads out there that will serve you just as well during a meditation practice, but they're not likely to be anywhere near as luxurious. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Spiritual Fashion Accessories:** The combination of spirituality and fashion is a growing trend, providing an opportunity for businesses to create products that cater to this growing market. - **Personalized Jewelry:** The trend of made-to-order jewelry is gaining in popularity, presenting an opportunity for businesses to offer customization options for their products. - **Luxury Meditation Tools:** The trend of luxurious meditation tools such as high-end mala beads allows businesses to create unique, high-quality products for the spiritual market. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessories:** The intersection of fashion and spirituality creates an opportunity for fashion accessory brands to expand their product lines and appeal to a wider audience. - **Jewelry:** The trend of personalized and luxurious jewelry, especially mala beads, presents an opportunity for jewelry makers to offer unique, high-quality products to the spiritual market. - **Wellness:** The trend of combining spirituality and wellness has created an opportunity for businesses to create products aimed at promoting mindfulness and self-improvement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Premium Mindfulness Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindfulness-necklace.md) - [Thoughtful Mother's Day Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mothers-day-collection.md) - [Edgy Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikimoto-x-chrome-hearts.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Y2K-Inspired Flower Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foufou.md) - [Meaningful Jewelry Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluboho-x-fashionista.md) - [Tribal Art-Inspired Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bharata.md) - [Limited-Edition Luxury Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-necklace.md) - [Sculptural Knife Lanyard Beads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paracord-beads.md)
