With Father's Day just around the corner, now is the time to consider a set of mala beads for the father figure in your life.

We have recently noticed Jock Zonfrillo from Masterchef wearing a stunning set of worry beads around his wrist. Jock was quoted as saying, "I've got lots of different types of worry beads, and when I'm feeling anxious or a little bit stressed, basically, I flick through them like that and the more anxious and more worried you get, the faster I do it."

Anyone can wear mala bracelets, a perfect gift that can act as a wearable symbol of affinity and love. Our stunning wrist malas are made of high-quality stones and feel strong and supportive on the wrist. They make a perfect present for a dad prone to anxiety and can be used as a tool for meditation or the release of stress. Our mala sets can also be worn by anyone. They are great for grounding during the day and as part of a meditative self-care routine.

If you're looking for a unique, thoughtful and considerate gift, then look no further than our mala bracelets or beads. Each beautiful set has been handcrafted by local artisans in India through a practice that dates hundreds of years. The only decision left- which stone will you choose? The best advice we can give is to choose the stone you feel most drawn to. If you still aren't sure, we've picked our favourite for each astrological sign. 

Aries - March 21–April 19 

Aries fathers are attentive and enterprising. They are always on the go and often enjoy getting involved in the activities and interests of their family- be their children be infants or adults themselves. They are hardworking and brilliant at achieving their goals and seizing any opportunity that comes their way. However, Aries fathers could often do with being more aware of the thoughts and feelings of their children. While it will support an Aries dad to achieve their goals, Bloodstone will also help manage interactions with others, particularly where there is a risk of conflict. Bloodstone encourages sensitivity, diplomacy and tact in even the most familiar of relationships. 

Taurus - April 20–May 20 

Fathers born under the sign of Taurus strive to provide for their children and their extended family. Taurus men love to feel wanted and needed and take great pride in their role as parent and caregiver. They can deliver great results even when pressure is on. With this responsibility, they can often focus on their work and become detached from their loved ones. Tiger's Eye reminds the Taurus father to make some time to reconnect, to have some fun, to test their lucky and leave some things up to the hands of fate. Tiger’s Eye is associated with prosperity and can help to create both financial wealth and emotional wellbeing and gratitude. 

Gemini - May 21–June 21

Those born under the sign of the twins are very bright and witty, and these dads have a great sense of fun and love to play. Mookaite helps Gemini dads to achieve a greater level of understanding- be this improved clarity about their own strengths and weakness, or a better understanding about the true nature of their own children. Mookaite will help the Gemini dad who is pondering the deeper meaning of things and craving greater connection with others. It is also a useful tool during times of stress, and can help a Gemini man to make up his mind when he feels torn between completing ideas or priorities.  

Cancer - June 22–July 22 

For Cancerian fathers, we recommend Red Jasper, because of its wonderful ability to promote positivity and strength. These easygoing men make compassionate and kind fathers, but can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the expectations of others. Red Jasper is extremely protective- helping the wearer to feel calm and in control even during times of upheaval or stress. It provides the Cancer man with the strength and confidence he needs to stand up for himself and be clear about his own perspectives and desires. We also know it to be a wonderful stone for lovers- it can enhance feelings of connection and pleasure in romantic relationships.   

Leo - July 23–August 22 

Leo dads are never short of ideas. Their minds are often filled with improvements they want to do around the house, or new business ventures they want to begin. However, their energy for completing such projects can sometimes dwindle. Like the big cats they are named for, they can run out of steam, become bored with everyday activities, or simply decide they need to take a break right in the middle of a project. Amazonite gives Leo dads a shot of energy and helps them to maintain their stamina, especially in the face of deadlines or competing priorities. It is clarifying and creative stone that will help Leo fathers with balance and motivation. 

Virgo - August 23–September 22 

Virgo fathers can be very disciplined and hardworking. They take their role as fathers and breadwinners very seriously and will often work themselves into a state about how well they are performing in their home life. They get a great sense of satisfaction from caring for and providing for their family. Howlite will help them think about their responsibilities, reassess what is important, and to leave work at work. Virgo dads need to be reminded that their performance as partners and partners is not under scrutiny at home in the same way that it is at work. Howlite will help them to loosen up and enjoy the fun of family life. 

Libra - September 23–October 23 

Dads born under the sign of the scales make fair and reasonable parents. They are always willing to listen to the perspectives of others and will think about all of the information they are presented with. Lapis lazuli can give them the confidence they need to be decisive and take action when necessary. Libran fathers will work so hard to keep their families happy that they miss out on the chance to really get to know their children. There is a risk that they can become detached from their family in their efforts to keep things comfortable. 

Scorpio - October 24–November 21

Smoky Quartz is a great choice for the Scorpio father. These men always do their best and take their responsibilities as parents and caregivers very seriously indeed. Scorpio men often hold on to stress or upset, sometimes bottling up their emotions. Smoky quartz helps with the processing of emotions and the expression of feelings that can seem difficult or uncomfortable. Smoky Quartz will help the scorpion dad to clear any of those feelings of resentment or hostility and to retract the stinging tail. It literally helps to "clear the air" and replaces negativity with peace and calmness. 

Sagittarius - November 22–December 21

Sagittarius fathers are great fun. They are enthusiastic and interested in other people and the world around them. They are rarely unhappy or angry and have a happy knack of cheering up others who feel blue. Sodalite is a bright blue stone that makes a super choice for the Sagittarius dads. The Sagittarius man is often restless and keen to see changes in their situation, either at home or at work. Sodalite teaches patience and persistence. It will also help the Sagittarius man to clear his mind, clarify his thoughts and be mindful of both the small details and the bigger picture when it comes to any situation or problem he needs to meditate on.

Capricorn - December 22–January 19

Capricorn fathers take their role very seriously and are determined to give their families and children the best of themselves and the finest world goods they can offer. In some cases, this pursuit of success can exhaust them. Black Tourmaline is a great choice for the Capricorn dad, because it offers stability and strength but also protection from detrimental outside influences. Capricorn dads may also find it hard to express their true thoughts and feelings; because they are complex creatures. Black Tourmaline helps to reassure them all is well, enabling them to meditate and connect with their higher consciousness.

Aquarius - January 20–February 18

Dads born under the sun sign of the water bearer often raise happy, positive, and independent children. With their unconventional approach, Aquarian fathers often encourage their children to be eccentric rather than teaching them the skill they need to be able to work with others and do well in groups. For Aquarian fathers, we choose Pyrite because it has a grounding energy that can help them to accept the notion that those around them need stability and security. Pyrite will help the Aquarian dad to be present and mindful of their immediate environment. It helps ground them in the here and now and to tether them to the more earthly concerns of their families and loved ones. 

Pisces - February 19–March 20

Rainbow Fluorite is a great choice for the Pisces dad because it is both calming and strong. Pisces men are often particularly initiative- they will instinctively know when a loved one is unwell or when something isn't going to plan for their children or spouse. Many Pisces fathers are deeply connected with their family, and may even consider themselves to be a little bit psychic. As fathers, Pisces men can be prone to becoming emotionally unsettled or anxious, as they worry so genuinely for the ones they love. Rainbow fluorite promotes clarity of thought and helps reduce tension. It will help the Pisces dad to process and understand their feelings and make sound decisions when required.
