About this piece
The 8mm Karungali Bracelet is the modern-style daily wear form of authentic Diospyros ebenum (Tamil "karungali", Indian Ebony, family Ebenaceae). Round-polished 8mm beads — 23 to 25 depending on wrist size — are strung on heavy-duty elastic for slip-on convenience. Sourced from 60–80-year-old heartwood in Tamil Nadu's Salem cooperative, each bead is GTL Jaipur density-verified at specific gravity ~1.2 (sinks in water — the definitive Diospyros ebenum authentication test). Ruled by Lord Shani and revered in Hanuman bhakti, karungali is the principal Tamil drishti-protection wood and a classical Sade Sati / Shani Dhaiya remedy. Saturday Purnima energised with "Om Sham Shanaicharaya Namaha". A clean, jet-black, gem-free bracelet that suits both office and ritual wear.
Specifications
How to wear
Energise on a Saturday with 108 mantras. Wear on the right wrist (men) / left (women) — the karungali side of the body. Slip-on stretch fit, no clasp. Avoid soap, perfume, oil and chlorinated water. Wipe with dry cotton after sweat exposure. Re-stringing free in the first year.
Frequently asked
How do I get the right size?
Measure wrist circumference with a tape — we offer S (155mm), M (170mm), L (185mm), XL (200mm). The bracelet sits snug, not loose.
Water test?
Cut elastic on one bead (we include one spare), drop in water — Diospyros ebenum sinks (SG ~1.2). Scratch test: black through-and-through.
Will the black colour fade?
No. Karungali is heartwood-black, not surface-dyed. Polish develops a deeper sheen with daily skin oil over months.
Can it be worn during sleep?
Yes — many practitioners wear it 24/7 during a 40-day mandala. Remove before bathing with soap.
Can I pair with my existing rudraksha bracelet?
Yes — karungali right wrist + rudraksha left is the classical Shani–Shiva combination for Sade Sati. ---
