Today's fun fact starts with a number you may have glanced right past: 108. Our 108 Bead Necklace carries exactly that many beads, and it turns out the number has a surprisingly rich story of its own.
Start with geometry. In a regular pentagon, each interior angle measures exactly 108 degrees, so the number is quietly built into one of nature's favorite shapes.
The number 108 also has a long cultural history: strands of prayer beads known as malas are traditionally strung with 108 beads, which is one reason necklaces of this length appear so often in jewelry traditions around the world. Our necklace borrows that classic length as a design choice, not a spiritual promise.
About the piece itself: the 108 Bead Necklace comes in a range of color-named options, from Malachite to black sandblasted to tiger's eye styling, priced from $24.99 to $29.99. One honest note from the product details: the option names describe appearance, and the stone composition of each version should be confirmed if that matters to you.
Worn with a plain shirt or a favorite layered outfit, a long beaded strand adds detail without competing with a busy print. Check back tomorrow for another fun fact from around our catalog.
