I refer to this piece as Leah. She was the first wife of Jacob from the book of Genesis. She was an older sister with beautiful eyes. These twisted aqua beads remind me of beautiful light blue eyes. Their color and clarity look into the soul. I love the elegant shape of their cut. The focal beads are aqua glass and foil lined. I have made three similar pieces. Each has its own cross and uniqueness. There may be some variations in the piece you receive. Leah is about 30 cm from top to bottom. Prayer beads are a tangible item to use during pray to keep you focused and grounded. Blessings To use beads with a prayer.. is to.. make thought tangible. Madeleine LEngle
