To be honest I mostly like rudaksha beads because of their use in malas -- I love history, culture, amulets and talismans, mythology, symbolism etc so things like that make me buy beads I don't normally use. But perhaps it just takes a little longer to learn how to love them? I sure know that I love and treasure some beads today that I didn't like at all or didn't know how to use in a flattering way when I was a newbie. I do see a potential in them. They are very tactile and with a texture that draws the eye to it. Bumpy, but not in an annoying way. They're not rough against the skin or anything: my beads almost seem laquered (not from R&T). Colour and texture would be useful in organic and autumnal jewellery. "25 words or less." uhm, almost... I might not be a talkative person, but I love to write. ;-) Of cause I owns rudaksha beads (friends with my rosewood, sandalwood and tulsi beads).
