Although these beads are in good condition, they are authentic vintage beads from a private collection that is over 40 years old. These beads are handmade and will have some imperfections.

    Imperfectly Perfect

    These beads were exactly what I was looking for. I didn't want perfect, machine-made beads for my mala. These handmade beads are irregular in shape and texture. EXACTLY what I wanted. The blue is beautiful and is perfect for my guru beads.

    EXACTLY what I was searching for!

    I first found Donkey Beads as a teenager in my local "head shop" in northwest NJ - circa 1969 or so. I treasured them! In the mid 80s, I passed them on to my son at a particularly stressful time in his young life to remind him of the strength he already possessed and that Mom always has his back.

    I've searched for quite a while and now I'll be able to share these beauties when needed again...perhaps with my Granddaughter? What a joy! This is Much Appreciated!🙏☮🙏
