Strand- Abacus

$85.00

a practice of presence & collaboration with the divine…

Our heirloom quality porcelain beads are a handmade meditation on time and space— an artful reminder to attune, focus, and maybe even count your blessings.

Minimal, monochromatic organic beads are adorned with pencil-under-glaze symbols and threaded onto a waxed cotton cord and tucked into a responsibly sourced wooden box. No two are the same, and their perfectly-imperfect shapes are designed to patina over time with the repetition of your touch.

Strand Original is a tactile experience designed to move the beads along the chord as you move through your practice. You may also tie it to your bag or another personal item so it is always with you- a portable reminder to return to your center and focus on what matters most.

Symbols are selected at random, but if you have a special request, please include it in the notes at check out. Please see below for list of samples.

heirloom: something of value handed down from one generation to another.

Prayer, at its simplest, is an heirloom practice of presence and intention. Woven through generations, heavy with the hopes, fears, and gratitude of all who have called upon something bigger than themselves, prayer has stubbornly resisted belonging to any singular tradition, religion, or status.

If you’ve been told otherwise—if the words of your own prayers have been short-changed, second-guessed, or silenced, may this new prayer practice help you meet god in your own voice, your own way, and your own divine time.
