Prayer Beads: Traditional and Non-traditional

Traditional rosaries are used by both Catholics and Anglicans. 
Using the same bead structure, or more often, by creating new patterns 
for meditation and intent---they are used by many others.
Keramos handmade rosaries include the traditional forms as well as strung beads used for peace prayers, personal intentions and earth-based meditations.

FRANCISCAN ROSARY

This rosary is a simple one decade rosary created with strong natural hemp cord with one looped end.  The loop can be placed on successive fingers to help count through the five decades.  The ten main beads are made from banana seeds with smaller black glass beads knotted between them.  Three large knots separate the beads from the wooden crucifix at the end.

ANGLICAN ROSARY

This rosary is strung on simple black hemp cord with the main beads made from banana seeds.  The cruciform beads and the cross are terra cotta handmade by Keramos.

CATHOLIC ROSARY

This standard rosary is made from banana seeds, hand painted wooded beads, black glass beads, hand carved bone, knotted hemp cord and a wooden crucifix.

  

 PEACE PRAYER BEADS

On natural hemp string, the Peace Prayer beads consist of ten North American Jade beads separated by blue and white glass beads with spiral and peace sign focus beads.  The handmade tassel is made from natural hemp string.

SPIRAL EARTH PRAYER BEADS

Thirteen small smooth Jasper stone beads represent the 13 weeks in a season and are separated by a crystal.  There are a total of 4 groups of 13 beads, or a total of 52, the number of weeks in a year.  The spiral focus bead is finished with a handmade varigated yellow tassel.
