What Makes the Shamballa Bracelet So Special

Shamballa bracelets first became mainstream in 2001 in Copenhagen, Denmark by Mikkel and Mads Kornerup. They strung together gold beads with diamond studs using an intricate knotted design. However, this is not where the tradition of these special bracelets started. The inspiration for these bracelets actually comes from Ancient Buddhism. A story from hundreds of years ago talks about the Kings of Shamballa and their job to maintain the principles of the Kalachakra Tantra, a prophesy stating that when people turn to war and greed all will be lost. Therefore, these bracelets were a constant reminder to embrace happiness, peace, and tranquility.
