Using the Fibonacci Sequence, this piece was designed more than 10 years ago especially for two dear people I had known for a long time even then in exchange for a retreat. I made four pieces so that they each had a choice of prayer beads or a necklace. He chose prayer beads and she chose a necklace. I now have the other set of prayer beads. They are among my favorites!

Here is how the design represents the Fibonacci Sequence:

1 ocean jasper drop
1 oval carnelian at the top
2 large round red adventurine
3 large round green turquoise
5 medium dark green pearls
8 medium round carnelian
