This 16 inch love bead necklace is made of 4mm jasper beads, accented with tiny brass beads, and 7 gorgeous bronze aura quartz crystals, finished with a gold filled clasp.
While I don’t much go for treated stones usually, I adore the rich gorgeous bronzy finish on these aura quartz crystals. The small round beads are repurposed from a wrap bracelet I got in India in 2018. They are humble, just simple jasper (I think) beads dyed the most mesmerizing midnight purple. Again, I don’t much go for dyed beads, but these are just lovely.
This one feels full of deep mystery and far off places, like desert sands under an inky midnight sky. Like caves energy, a dark + potent portal to deep wisdom + understanding. Like sacred space. An initiation.
*** Add a 3 inch gold filled extender for more versatility

A little about this collection:
Prayer beads meet love beads.
Born of play and a desire to make beauty from random odds and ends, what has emerged feels so soulful, both deeply personal and universal.
Made with beads that have made their way to me in all sorts of manner. From all corners of the globe. Trinkets from my travels. Gifts from friends. Secondhand treasure. Bits and bobs form broken pieces so well worn and well loved, they fell apart.
Inspired by prayer beads. Love beads of the sixties. A bohemian seventies aesthetic. Chokers from the nineties. A favorite necklace of my mom's.
A little connection to spirit.
A little love revolution.
Each piece is handcrafted with love to remind you of the magic within you + all around you.
