Description
This astrology based necklace in lapis lazuli gemstone beads is personalised because it shows the positions of the planets at a moment in time and place that’s significant to the wearer. A chart is drawn up for the desired occasion – most often the moment of birth – and the slightly larger gemstone beads representing the planets are then placed among the 120 smaller background beads. There are 10 smaller beads in each zodiac sign. Divisions between zodiac signs are shown by small silver seed beads. The finished necklace is approximately 62cm long. It can also be worn wrapped around the wrist as a bracelet.
Although these necklaces appear simple, each one takes 2-3 hours to create including drawing the chart as well as calculating where each planet beads must be inserted both in the necklace itself as well as on the printed chart. I use good quality gemstone beads with a depth of colour for these necklaces.
This single strand gemstone bead version of the astrology necklace is also currently also available with amethyst, black onyx or tiger eye beads. The latter two options being more popular among men. (See separate listings)
It is by drawing up the astrological chart for the date and place of the important event (usually a birth but it could be a wedding day if an anniversary gift is required) that the positions of the 11 planets relative to each other are found. These are then inserted in the necklace as close as possible to their correct places within each sign of the zodiac.
Each necklace comes boxed along with a printed copy of the chart from which it’s made as well at two other sheets to help the wearer interpret their necklace.
The gemstones representing each of the planets were chosen because they each shared some values in common with those attributed to the relevant planet.
