Red Spiny Oyster & Lapis Lazuli Rosary
Red Spiny Oyster & Lapis Lazuli Rosary
There’s hardly a more vibrant bead than those shaped from spiny oyster shells. Spiny oysters are found off the Baja Peninsula in California and Mexico. These are a dark orange-red color, made all the more vivid by the snowy white interior shell in contrast. These color of these beads is all natural.
The rich blue of the Afghani lapis lazuli Our Father beads provide a cool and soothing place for the eye to rest.
The cast Sterling silver reproduction crucifix and rosary center have angel motifs, engraved line details and beaded accents on the arm ends. The Sterling parts are broad and visually strong. There’s something quite passionate about spiny oyster, and this would be a beautiful gift for your favorite artistic and cheerful lady!
