Libertas Prayer Bead Necklace in Lapis and Carnelian: Roman Goddess of Freedom and Liberty

This set of Libertas prayer beads in lapis and carnelian consists of four sets of twelve beads each on the loop, each set separated by a larger bead. Joining the string are three additional beads and a pendant, a symbol representing the goddess: the Statue of Liberty, probably the best-known modern interpretation of the goddess.

It is made with 6mm blue lapis lazuli and red carnelian gemstone beads and silver-toned metal divider beads, separated by three 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 Libertas, 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.
