A custom design for a set of remembrance prayer beads incorporating family gemstone colours and dragonfly and butterfly charms, in silver.

The layout has the birthstones colours for three children represented by 8mm round beads in the circlet - peridot green, emerald green and amethyst. The emerald green is the gemstone green jade, the amethyst is a natural amethyst gemstone bead, and the peridot is a faceted Czech firepolished crystal. These are set between butterfly connectors.

The beads meet at a central heart - the heart of the family. This central heart connects the children's circle with the parents in the front chain - again, using the colours of the parents' birthstones - the gemstone lapis (deep blue) and green jade in slightly larger 10mm round beads. There is a handmade pewter bead engraved with a wee heart joining the two parents' beads. The strand ends with a pewter antiqued silver dragonfly.

The layout reflects the family - the two parents who meet and are joined by their love for each other, that love leading to a widening circle of family love encompassing three children in it's embrace.

Length: 20cm
Beads: 8mm and 10mm rounds
Butterflies: 1.5cm
Dragonfly: 2.5cm

These prayer beads come with a small card explaining the meaning of the layout, together with my usual pamphlet on prayer beads in general.

I've included a photo of it on my husband's hand so you can see the size.
