Men's Prayer Beads, Skeleton (Skull Carving), Jade

For those seeking something a little unusual: skull ("skeleton") carvings, believed to bring protection and harmony. Carving jade is notably difficult, and beads carved this way are rare even in our own shop -- a testament to how demanding the process is. In China, the skeleton motif (also called "weathered bones") has long been believed to ward off evil when displayed at a doorway, while in the West it is regarded as a sacred charm bringing harmony to home and workplace.
