With all the jewelry associated with different faiths, I was curious if their are specific pieces for Buddhist and other religions around the globe. I have seen Buddhas and Mala beads, but don’t know the connotation.

Do Buddhists have something like the cross or rosary is basically what I want to know.

Japanese Buddhist jewelry is becoming more popular and the vintage pieces are beautiful examples of Mala beads.

I noticed you can get Buddhist prayer beads.

Although I have many Buddhist items and a statue I don’t pray to the Buddha as I’m atheist. I just follow the philosophies.

Is that ok without the prayer? I know some religions frown on the non-religious use of their symbols, and Buddhist jewelry is a favorite of mine.

There are many symbols used in Buddhist jewelry and many different styles and materials used for prayer beads. I hope the following helps you choose the most powerful Mala for you.

Malas are Buddhist Prayer beads. In How To Choose, Use And Care For Prayer Beads or Mala Christopher Lee May will teach you what a mala is, how to use it, how to take care of it, and also how to choose the right one for you. Malas are great for praying and meditational use. Blessings and Namaste!
