Karungali Bracelets

Karungali Bracelets — 27 pieces in the VIZHEE Bracelets collection. Bracelets of karungali — black ebony wood traditional to Tamil Nadu — worn for grounding and quiet protection. Karungali is the Tamil name for Diospyros ebenum (true ebony), a dense, dark wood native to South India. Within Tamil Siddha tradition it has long been regarded as a sacred, protective wood, and it carries a popular association with Lord Murugan in South Indian custom. Karungali is traditionally worn as a grounding, protective presence through the day; many pick it as a quieter, darker alternative to lighter bead materials rather than for any promised effect. A band or strand of beads, metal, or cord worn around the wrist — one of the oldest and most cross-culturally worn jewelry forms.
