Construction
How it was built.
- 01
Each lapis bead is capped top and bottom, aligning the pyrite veining outward.
- 02
Gold-filled wire is used rather than plate at every stress point.
- 03
Beads are sequenced so no two heavily veined stones sit adjacent.
- 04
Finished piece is hand-polished with a dry cloth only — lapis is never chemically cleaned.
Symbolism
Why these stones, in this piece.
Lapis was ground into the ultramarine of devotional painting for a thousand years. Moonstone marks the Our Father beads with hope carried through uncertainty.
Made for: Those drawn to the devotional history of the material itself.
ETERNA describes these as traditional, symbolic associations. We make no claim of supernatural or medical effect.
