Women's prayer beads, 108 faceted crystal, 4 garnets, dark red tassel

$249.00 USD

Original from Kohgen! Classic quartz crystal finished with January's birthstone garnet.

These prayer beads are perfect for those who want a modest look for their prayer beads.
These prayer beads are crafted with a technique called 108-faceted cut glass.

The crystal beads, which appear round at first glance, are cut into 108 faces, making them shine brighter than regular quartz crystal.
Each bead reflects light, making these prayer beads sparkle and shine.

The number 108 represents the 108 earthly desires of humans, and it is said that the prayer beads receive these 108 earthly desires instead.
For this reason, the prayer beads can also be used as a talisman.

Comparing garnet and quartz crystal, garnet is about 20% heavier than quartz crystal.
Being heavy means that it is hard and packed with crystals.

Garnet means "protection from illness" in Latin.
It is also the birthstone for January, and is said to be a stone that leads to victory and success, and also means "leading to success by continuing steady effort without sparing any effort".

There is also a record that a woman gave garnet as a pendant as a gift to a medieval knight.
It is said that the pendant deflected an arrow, and people wore garnet with the hope of victory.
And it is still used as a talisman today.

This time, we have tailored it with a calm burgundy tassel to match the 108-faceted crystal and garnet tailoring.
It will go well with mourning clothes, and it will be a masterpiece that can be used safely at funerals.
