Women's Prayer Beads, Garnet, Nichiren Sect, Limited Edition

Women's Prayer Beads, Garnet, Nichiren Sect, Limited Edition

For those drawn to beads with a passionate depth of color, this garnet rosary is a fitting choice. Garnet's deep, wine-like red recalls the color of pomegranate seeds, from which the stone takes its name; the word 'garnet' is thought to derive from a Latin root meaning 'to protect from illness,' and is also associated with steady, unflagging effort leading to eventual success – a meaning said to have made it a favorite talisman among medieval knights who wore it in hopes of victory. This piece follows the formal Nichiren-sect style. Only one piece is available.
