According to Tibetan Buddhism, Shamballa or Shambhala is the name of a mystical kingdom, a symbol of enlightenment, peace, and perfection. Therefore Shamballa bracelets have become very popular in recent years, believed to have mystical powers of their own, depending on the color, the material of the beads, and the way the cord is tied, which usually is with macrame knots, but above all they symbolize oneness.
Apart from the spiritual side of the Shamballa bracelets, they look simply amazing, can be worn with almost any style of outfit, and are one of the few bracelets men can wear, which makes them perfect as a gift. The downside is that the true Shamballa bracelets can be quite expensive. So, if you are patient and are good with tying knots, here are the top 10 tutorials for Shamballa style bracelets.
