Hera Prayer Bead Necklace in Chrysocolla: Greek Goddess of the Heavens, Marriage and Fidelity, Queen of Olympus

Regular price $53.00 Sale

This set of Hera prayer beads in chrysocolla consists of four sets of twelve beads each on the loop, each set separated by a larger bead. Joining the string is an additional bead and a pendant, a symbol representing the goddess: a lotus blossom. In art, Hera was often depicted bearing the lotus staff.

It is made with 6mm blue-green chrysocolla gemstone beads and 8mm silver-toned metal divider beads, separated by silver-toned metal spacer beads, and glass seed beads to provide a comfortable transition from one bead to the next and to make the piece lightweight, supple, and easy to handle. The loop itself is approximately 33" (83.8cm) in circumference. It is designed to be used in prayer and meditation, to decorate an altar or shrine, and/or to adorn a statue. 

The beads can also be worn slipped over the head as a necklace. If you plan to wear it, please make sure a 33" (83.8cm) loop will fit easily over your head, as this piece has no clasp (although it can be made with one if desired--please contact me for information on customization!)

The beads come with a prayer to Hera, and with a cotton muslin bag for storage.

You can, of course, use the beads with any prayers, or for any god or gods, that you choose or that resonate with you.
