From mala to juzu or rosary for prayer and meditation, in hand or as amulet necklaces, as talismans or status markers, as currency or love letters: strings of beads have been traded, worn as ornamentation and used as a spiritual and tactile connection to a higher power across cultures for more than 70,000 years.

I hand bead these 30” endless (no clasp) necklaces late at night in NYC with attention to both numerical patterns and randomness. They are an offering to imperfection, variety and interconnectedness. Each necklace includes at least one slider bead, for fidgeting or time twirling.

This one has FIVE sliders and features turquoise, pearls, Afghan jade, an assortment of vintage and new seed beads, and a rainbow moment. She is sunny and bright.

Slips over the head. Do not expose to harsh cleaners or chemicals. Handle with care. Unisex.
