This is the third set of prayers beads I've made. Stella has the first set and Wallowa has the second set. Prayer beads have been on my mind and heart a lot ever since I used Jamshed's altar tasbih to say 99 prayers for him as he lay dying last October.

DVH Real Jet Tasbih Prayer Beads Broken Heart Necklace
Hey there! I found your blog through your artjewelry magazine thread. I saw all of your jet hearts and pendants there and felt compelled to contact you. I make jewelry out of jet. The connection to the Victorian era and mourning jewelry has always been inspiring however I do not consider the work I make to be mourning jewelry. I just absolutely LOVE the material. I especially enjoy leaving it in a matte finish. It has a luster to it that is almost pearl like when you leave it that way and oil it. Check out my work at www.mollyvogel.com. Pretty soon I will have some newer work posted on there too ;) I would love to have a conversation with you about jet!
