Men's Prayer Beads, Compressed Cherry Amber, Skeleton Carving, 20 Beads, Limited Edition (5 Pieces)

Men's Prayer Beads, Compressed Cherry Amber, Skeleton Carving, 20 Beads, Limited Edition (5 Pieces)

For those who want a classic amber rosary with a distinctive twist, this piece features a rare skeleton carving – a motif far more commonly seen on ivory or sandalwood than on amber. Skeleton-carved prayer beads are especially popular in our store, since a skull motif has long been used as a talisman: by tradition, wearing an image meant to be frightening was thought to scare off evil spirits watching from the shadows, and skull motifs are still displayed at entryways as protective charms in parts of China today. The material here is compressed amber, made by heating and fusing several smaller pieces of natural amber into larger beads. Amber is prized for being remarkably light, so even large beads like these remain comfortable to wear – a particular advantage for men, who often find larger beads in other materials cumbersome. Amber's enduring popularity also comes from its universal reputation as a precious material, lending a natural sense of luxury to anyone who sees it. No further restock is planned; only 5 pieces are available.
