Handmade by Laura McCann in Austin, TX.

This is a mala that has mostly aquamarine beads and is hand knotted on silk cord. The other beads, added for interest, are repurposed from vintage rosaries.

There are 8 different antique amulets hung from an old brass watch fob hook. The charms represent different cultural representations of good luck. There is an antique 18K gold charm of a Cross, Heart and Anchor which hang from the pendant. They represent Hope, faith and Charity. There is a gold mustard seed charm that represented faith in victorian times and is engraved on the back with a saying about faith. There is a gold evil eye that is worn to ward off evil in many cultures, a wood Figa hand with gold detail, also a symbol that is worn to ward off evil. There is a smokey quartz dagger. Smokey quartz offers protection from negative energies in ones environment. I finished the set with a brass disc which is stamped with the word "blessed" on it.

This piece is hand made, hand knotted, hand etched and one of a kind. The antique and vintage pieces are guaranteed to be authentic. The necklace has a 16 inch drop or 32 inches around.
