Head and Rear sides of Beads?

[Guest guest]

Dear List-Namaskar,

I would like to have it confirmed as to the head section and rear

section of A Rudraksha Bead. I notice that on the larger beads there

is one side with a prominent circular raised area while on the

opposite side there is no distinctive area except the hole. Is the

raised portion considered the front/head section?

I am putting together a necklace consisting of four 3 Mukhi beads,

four 5 Mukhi beads and one each of an 11 and 10 faced bead. I want to

put the 3 and 5 Mukhi beads head to head, that is, 3 to 3 and 5 to 5.

And thought the beads are placed head to head, is it permissible to

use a small bead inbetween the pairs?

The necklace/choker would run with smaller beads from the clasp up

until a pair of 3 Mukhis head to head followed by a pair 5 Mukhis

placed head to head, then the 11 Mukhi joined to the 10 Mukhi followd

by another pair of 5 Mukhi and 3 Mukhi, and then the appropriate

number of smaller beads would be used until the clasp. I am

considering dropping a 1 Mukhi bead from btween the 11 and 10 Mukhi.

Does this seem like a feasible design especially if I also include

the One Mukhi Bead? Any and all response would be tremendously

appreciated!

 

Sincerly,

Joseph Rippy
