Hello! My Buddhist Bracelet Craftsman Eddie Ng at Edd’s Edornments
A Buddhist mala typically consists of 108 beads, one for each of the earthly temptations an individual must overcome to achieve enlightenment. Watch craftsman Eddie Ng deftly weave a mala and explore stories of wisdom and tradition.

Meet Your Host
Driven by his deep admiration for the arts associated with Chinese culture and Buddhist customs, Eddie Ng, aged 63, established his own shop. Inspired by his fascination with prayer beads and the lack of specialised items in the market, he decided to fill this gap. After retiring from his banking job in 2017, Eddie embarked on a new venture, dedicating himself to collecting vintage ornaments, self-study, and practising to acquire the skills of stringing beads and crafting handmade silver earrings. His expertise now lies in stringing Mala beads and creating exquisite jewellery pieces.
