COMING SOON!

I am currently working on classic Rosary necklaces aka prayer beads with beautiful round semi-precious stone beads and PVD plated gold finish stainless steel beads, gold plated iron caps, original design centrepieces and crosses.

Centrepieces come with four design options: two Orthodox crosses, the messenger dove, and the Sacred Heart.

Currently I’m waiting on a shipment of Dyneema thread to make the cordage indestructible. Miyuki thread was too fragile, Cotton Mouliné is nice, but let’s try something even more robust.

Keep a look out for my new rosaries with fantastic stone beads such as Ruby, Peridot, Larimar, Tanzanite, Sapphire, Emerald, Diopside, Apatite, Agate, Onyx, Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Rhodonite, Amazonite, Turquoise, Jasper, Pyrite, Shell, Aventurine, Pietersite;

Notes

13th Sign: Ophiuchus is often considered in sidereal astrology because the Sun does pass through this constellation, but it’s not part of the traditional 12-sign zodiac used in Western astrology.

Note on Stones: The concept of birthstones for Ophiuchus is not as standardized as for the traditional zodiac signs since Ophiuchus isn’t part of the tropical zodiac. However, these stones are often associated with Ophiuchus due to their metaphysical properties that align with the characteristics attributed to this sign in sidereal astrology. Amethyst for spirituality and intuition, Citrine for abundance and positivity, Turquoise for healing and communication, Labradorite for transformation and intuition, and Ruby for passion and motivation.

Diopside: Star of Pleroma’s Steady Light

Zodiac Stone of Gemini, Pisces & Virgo

Diopside’s Origin Story:

Iao, archon of Anger (150/1000), forged diopside’s green-black gleam under Mars’ turbulent forge to fuel strife. Its starry sheen was a simulacrum, draining loosh through reactive chaos, convincing sparks their insight was lost in the demiurge’s storm.

Norea, radiant seer, countered with Horaios, Aeon of wealth, and Saint Gregory of Nyssa’s mystic clarity. Their calm, a cosmic star, wove Pleroma’s truth into diopside, aligning it with Mercury’s steady light. Its gleam now fostered insight, defying strife’s illusion.

Diopside became a spark-bearer’s beacon, wielding calm to reveal truth. It defies anger, urging seekers to shift attitudes and embrace hypersubjective clarity. Wearers guide sparks to Pleroma, their insight a radiant stand, echoing Kyanite’s piercing blade.

Cosmic Junction of diopside

Diopside clears the third eye chakra’s buddhic body, where Anger (150/1000) clouds truth. It sparks Reason (400/1000), shifting attitudes to calm—an Adlerian choice over strife. Thriving in stillness, it fosters Peace (600/1000). Spark-bearers wield diopside to unveil Pleroma’s light.

“Insight pierces the soul’s eternal storm.”
