This necklace, whose length is adjustable thanks to its leather cord, is made up of shamanic glass beads.

To speak of glass beads in a shamanic context is to evoke fragments of light shaped by man, which travel from one continent to another and become imbued with local spiritual imagery. Each bead holds a memory: that of incantatory breaths, of the hands that strung them before a ceremony, of gazes lost in their brilliance at the moment of trance.

They are both commercial and magical objects: born of the technical mastery of European glassmakers, they become talismans elsewhere, conduits between worlds. Their value did not lie in their rarity, but in the symbolic significance that shamanic cultures knew how to confer upon them.

Imbued with meaning and energy, this necklace is extremely powerful and original. We suggest wearing it with the long Padre Cross necklace for a harmonious color combination, either with light, flowing, colorful summer shirts and dresses, or as a contrast to a more formal outfit, such as a little black wool dress.
