Bohdi beads are a type of decorative bead often used in jewelry and accessories with a spiritual or bohemian vibe. The term "Bohdi" is derived from the Bodhi tree, which holds significant spiritual importance in Buddhism and other spiritual traditions. The Bodhi tree is famous for being the place where Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) attained enlightenment.
In the context of beads, Bohdi beads are often made from the seeds of the Bodhi tree (also known as "Bodhi seeds"). These seeds are typically used in malas (prayer beads) for meditation and prayer, symbolizing spiritual growth, enlightenment, and mindfulness. The beads are usually round and earthy in appearance, and they can be used in necklaces, bracelets, and other accessories, adding a meaningful and bohemian touch to the design.
In more modern boho jewelry, Bohdi beads are popular because of their connection to spirituality, nature, and inner peace, making them perfect for crafting a unique, earthy look.
