Women's Prayer Beads, Aquamarine, Double-Layer (Eight-Sect Compatible), Limited Edition

Aquamarine takes its name from the Latin for 'sea water,' a nod to its color reminiscent of crystallized ocean water, and it was historically carried as a talisman for safe sea travel. Aquamarine is also a March birthstone alongside coral and bloodstone, associated with Gemini, and said to restore calm and strengthen resolve; long prized as jewelry since at least the 17th century, its charming pale-blue color has earned it a reputation as a stone that brings beauty and happiness, making it especially popular among women. This piece is finished with light blue tassels for a soft, cohesive look. This style of rosary is designed to be used regardless of Buddhist sect; in Nagoya, a double-layer, white-tasseled crystal rosary of this kind is traditionally included as part of a bride's dowry, and eight-sect-compatible double rosaries are recognized there as a wedding item.
