LOL sorry the answer above is total rubbish;;
Lets put to bed this silly myth of the playground once and for all..
What is a fake and is not a fake.
A question we get asked all the time is are Perigia bracelets real? (Perigia is my buisness I sell these for a living)
The answer is YES they are real but one thing they are not is a counterfeit copy of the branded products.
On a branded product there is a logo and with that logo comes a price (normally quite high) it is fair to say if it has a logo and it is not being sold in the correct establishments and its price is too good to be true then it is highly likely it will be a counterfeit copy.
To protect you from the counterfeiters ask them 3 simple questions.
1) What is your company name?
2) Do you take Visa?
3) Do they have a telephone number and address for their business?
If they are happy to comply with any of the above questions then you are on safe ground.
Now let look at the product its self, there are three main brands with trademarks.
1 ) Shamballa Jewel
At present there are only two authorised dealerships listed on their website in the UK.
Prices start around£500, upto £125,000 (by the way they are made of real diamonds inset into gold and silver)
2) Tresor Paris, Lucet Mundi,
These are High Street BRANDS selling crystal bracelets with a logostamped onto the Hematite beads, they have trademarked their brand and as such any one selling these with a logo on who is not a recognised or an authorised agent is most likely up to no good + with a price tag of £150, I say again if someone tell you it genuine and it has a LOGO on it, but you can have yours for£25 then common sense tells you to beware.
Now down to the nitty gritty! you can buy the same quality of bracelets (EXCLUDING SHAMBALLA JEWELL) from many outlets such as Argos, Warren James, H-Samuels' and other outlets but at a fraction of the price but without the logo quite legally you can also buy this style of bracelet made in everything from metal to plastic as there is and cannot be any intellectual/design/copy or property rights to this style of bracelet as they have been around for years! That's right this style of bracelet is centuries old.
Traditionally made by Tibetan Monks as meditational or spiritual bracelets (similar to the catholic rosary)
So the question that should be asked. Is how did someone manage to Brand an already established and centuries old design/name?
Simple they miss-spelled the word " Shamballa" The real spelling should be "Shambhala" (notice the additional "L" and the removal of the "H") test it out on Google for yourself these bracelets are also Known as Tia Bracelets and Friendship Bracelets.
So to finalise THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FAKE SHAMBHALA BRACELET unless it is described as, marked or packaged in such a way with a logo or an insinuation that that leads you to believe that it is a BRANDED product.
Oh another misleading statement
If it hasn't got magnets it's not real. ROFLMAO! Another incorrect statement which was born in the playground of the teenage imagination.

Some shamballa bracelet's are real and some are fake. If you want a real one make sure the bracelet has 9 crystals/diamond balls and the dangling ball on the end are magnetic.
Maces
if the 2 small beads aint magnetic its fake if it does not have 9 balls its fake and if you can spin the crystal balls it fake
Its a type of bracelet. There are many types of shamballa bracelets with pricings ranging from as little as ten pounds to thousands depending on the quality.
The two balls are not magnetic it dose not have nine balls it is really heavy and the crystal balls dose not spin it is real. Wrong. This is a total myth surrounding the Shamballa bracelet. The answer is so Simple. In America, the word Shamballa is copy written by the company Shamballa Jewels. Therefore any company that uses the word Shamballa in the United States is ultimately sued. The problem with this is the fact that "Shamballa" is the actual style of the bracelet, as it was given the name many years before Shamballa Jewels as Buddhists designed the bracelets with the hope to bring peace and tranquility. As a result, with the USA allowing the copyright for the word, Shamballa Jewels began to sue other companies using their name. NOT because the bracelets are fake. REMEMBER "shamballa" is the style. Outside of America things are different. In the United Kingdom, more research went in to the market and it seems the patent office are not willing to allow Shamballa Jewels the right to copyright the word as they have found "shamballa" a style of bracelet. Look at is like this... Can Nike copy right the word "high tops" for trainers. NO.. because they are the style of trainer under the category "trainers". Same thing goes for the "shamballa" being the style under the category "Bracelets". So in actual fact, you can create, design and manufacture your own bracelet if you like, and be sure you can label it as a Shamballa bracelet. But not in the USA, as they were too eager to patent the word before researching the routes of the word.

The bracelet has to have 9 crystal/diamond balls and the dangling balls on the end have to be magnetic as well. If your shamballa has both features it is real.
if it is not heavy or if some of the stons fell off
To make the shamballa bracelet have two most commonly used knots are the square knot and the double half hitch. Macrame uses almost exclusively these two knots.

There is actually no such thing as a generic "shamballa bracelet." Mads Kornerup, a Danish jewelry designer, began selling his distinctive line of jewelry under the SHAMBALLA trademark in the mid-1990s. Kornerup later teamed up with his brother, Mikkel, to form Shamballa Jewels ApS and launched a very successful line of distinctive jewelry (also using the SHAMBALLA trademark). Recently, a particular style of bracelet designed by Kornerup has become extremely popular. The popularity of this SHAMBALLA bracelet has led many to copy the design and to call their imitation bracelets "shamballa bracelets." This use is not only inaccurate and deceptive, but also constitutes trademark infringement. Shamballa Jewels has been forced to become aggressive in enforcing its SHAMBALLA trademark rights, including filing lawsuits in the United States. So, to answer the question directly, "Shamballa bracelets" can only refer to authentic Shamballa Jewels bracelets designed and made by Shamballa Jewels.
