Shamballa
Beads
–
The hottest hip hop accessory of the year & the next bead craze!
Shamballa
jewelry is spiritual fashion, made from Tibetan Buddhist-inspired beads worn by
all the big rap and hip hop artists. Their ‘spiritual vibe’ reminds the mind and
body of its natural ability to open and heal, bringing a feeling of well being.
Also spelled Shambhala, a mythical kingdom in ancient Tibet where all the
inhabitants have reached enlightment. Old Tibetan medical texts say it is also
the dharma chakra, located in the heart of all living beings - symbol for the
trinity of body, speech, and mind. Similar to the effect hip hop music has on
the soul.
The jewelry is hand-made from semi-precious stone beads strung on macramé
braided cord, and can cost as much as US$30,000 for a single bracelet.
This price would buy an exclusive design with diamonds and stone beads
set in 18-carat gold – for wealthy ex-or would-be hippies.
Mads Kornerup was the first to sell expensive shamballa jewelry in Paris
in 1994, followed shortly by another store in Soho, New York.
Now this beaded jewelry is sold from Switzerland to Russia, to top London
stores like Harrods, Frosts, and Tresor Paris.
King
Ice, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, TI, P Diddy, Dr. Dre, Nelly, and Busta Rhymes, are
among many artists appearing on magazine covers and music videos sporting these
Buddhist disco ball beads. King Ice’s shamballa bracelets are made from nylon
string with a traditional macramé manual toggle fastener. The beads are made
from plastic and a base metal with either cubic zirconia stones or hematite
diamonds. He raps with shamballa inspired disco ball bead necklaces too.
However, shamballa beads are more than just jewelry inspired from traditional
Tibetan Buddhism. Individual meanings can be expressed by their style, color and
shape. And not only hip hop artists
wear these beads for their own beliefs – other celebrities like basketball
stars, Michael Jordan and Lamar Odom, and ladies like Demi Moore, Heidi Klum and
Beyonce also dance with the bracelets.
These stunning and stylish beads are a unique mix between jewelry and
spirituality. Today’s turmoil
brings no better time to get in touch with hip hop fashion and your inner self.
Express your individuality and spiritual needs by designing your own
unique shamballa bracelet and matching necklace.
Create a mystical effect using skull and Buddhist beads with sparkling
crystal beads to add bling.
