Although I make my beads with heavy-duty beading wire and solid components including sturdy stone or tempered glass beads, prayer beads are not indestructible--if you use them for tug-of-war or hurl them against the wall, they may break :). They should, however, hold up to most normal use and wear. Because of the materials and finishes used, I don't recommend using jewelry cleaner or any harsh soaps or household cleaners on your prayer beads; they should not be washed in the dishwasher or washing machine, or otherwise submerged in water for cleaning. I suggest wiping gently with a soft, damp cloth.

While I try hard to keep items in stock, they do take quite a while to make and when an item is sold out, it can sometimes take weeks to restock, sometimes more, depending on time issues.

Highlights

Made by HearthfireHandworks
Materials: metal beads and findings, glass seed beads, black onyx gemstone beads, 49 strand stainless steel beading wire

This set of Charon prayer beads 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 representing the god:a coin. As ferryman from the realm of the living to that of the dead, Charon accepted a single coin in payment.

It is made with 6mm black onyx gemstone beads and gold-toned metal divider beads, separated by gold-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 Charon, 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.
