Shamballa Bracelets are more than mere trendy fashion items. Shamballa bracelets are inspired by Buddhist history and meditation and are worn to support peace, tranquility, and happiness. While the Shamballa bracelet has kept its spiritual meaning the traditional design has changed slightly. Originally made of a nylon or waxed linen string adorned by hematite and metal beads, current styles favored by celebrities and their fans now include gemstones, disco bead balls and diamonds.
