Truth Pendant Boho Statement Necklace

- Leather & Greek Beads, Unisex Inspirational Jewelry -

The word "truth" prevails in this inspirational statement necklace that combines an artisan-made word pendant, Mykonos ceramic beads, a carved Tibetan bone bead, and pale orange agate rondelles. The pendant, which is made of polymer clay, is roughly 1 5/8 inches in length and quite durable. It has a background color light olive green and is stamped with brown lettering and a darker green leaf design.

The Mykonos ceramic beads, made in Greece, are colorful eye-catchers that come in two different shapes: tube and washer. The tubes are lime green, bone, and brown in color, and the washers are dark green, lime green, and brown. The bone bead is from Nepal and was carved by Tibetan refugees there. It is decorated with the ancient "evil eye" protector symbol, and so looks like a talisman. I purchased it in a Tibetan Dharma shop in Newport, RI. The agate gemstone rondelles are a light shade of earthy orange and quite shiny.

The necklace also includes pewter daisy spacers and deerskin leather lace (made in the USA). The spacers also have a nice shine and add a metallic glint to the necklace. The deerskin leather lace (also made in the USA) is soft and supple. Although thin, this lace is quite strong and will stretch but not break. I used double slipknots in this piece, which made the length adjustable. The length is set at 31 inches, including the pendant.

A stylish and meaningful boho jewelry creation with tribal affinities, this truth necklace was handmade beaded by me with care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. The necklace comes in a small box and wrapped for gifting to someone who values truth and higher principles. Perhaps that someone will be you!

About Mandalas
A mandala is a meaningful abstract representation of the cosmos or universe. It is an essential component of meditation, ritual, and spirituality in Buddhism and Hinduism. The most complex mandalas are instructional guides through the cosmic spiritual world and along the pathway of Enlightment (Buddhism) or Samadhi (Hinduism). Most commonly in the West, mandalas are decorative objects. Like religious mandalas, they present symmetrical designs developed from a central hub, but their images and meaning will differ. The content of the best secular mandalas is typically intricate and pretty. They provoke an emotional response and convey a sense of peace, energy, or wonder. Even in a secular context, mandalas should give you a good feeling, and you should select designs that have a positive effect on your mood and emotions.

About Rudraksha Seeds
These interesting seeds come from a variety of evergreen that grows in the foothills of the Himalayas and certain areas of Southeast Asia. The name Rudraksha is a compound word, with Rudra representing the name Shiva (Hindu god) and aksha meaning "eyes," The common translation is "Shiva's Tears." The name reflects the role of Shiva in the etiology of the Rudraksha tree. In that legend, Shiva emerges from a long period of meditation with such strong emotions that he sheds a tear, which falls to the earth and grows into the first Rudraksha tree. The seeds from the tree are thus sacred, and in Hindu belief, they are thought to confer the spiritual protection of Shiva. These meaningful seeds are traditionally used as beads in Hindu and Buddhist malas (prayer beads).

Red and White Valentine Superduo Beadwoven Cuff Bracelet

Valentines and peppermints come to mind when I see this wonderful BOHO snakeskin Czech superduo beadwoven bracelet. To start off I selected a bright neon cherry red superduo bead to run down the center of the bracelet. This lovely shade of red has an almost velvety finish to it. For the outer edges I selected matte chalk Czech superduos. Along the outer edge I added a hint of sparkle and shine using TOHO Japanese silver lined crystal seed beads. To finish the bracelet off I created loops using TOHO opaque cherry seed beads to which I attached antique silver oval jump rings. For the closure I used an antique silver jubilee toggle style closure. The toggle has a lovely swirling heart shape and the toggle bar curves inward to securely hold the bracelet on your wrist.

VALENTINE BEADWOVEN BRACELET 

This bracelet is 7 1/2 inches or 190 mm in length which is perfect for an average 7 to 7 1/4 inch wrist. Make sure you measure to ensure a good fit. Measure your wrist by using a flexible measuring tape, measure just above (towards elbow) the wrist bone, then add 1/4" to 1 " (1/2" is average) depending on how tight you like your bracelets to fit. That is the size bracelet you would wear. These bracelets cannot be re-sized.
