Necklace 1: A chunky statement piece that has a raw Onyx stone pendant, with “Strength” message ring and stainless steel thick chain

Necklace 2: A two-layered piece with Black/Silver sparkle chain and Black Buddha Rosary necklace with long Tassle

Worn together, the multi-strand look gives a chunky masculine/feminine feel. Both necklaces have a toggle clasp.

The rosary necklace is inspired from the Turkish Rosary that, traditionally, Turkish men carry with them and is called “Tesbih”.  

“… There has always been a strong bond between men and their beads in Turkey, stemming from a religious connotation as prayer beads, but later becoming a symbol of status and an instrument of conversation, meditation and peace from anxiety. It is said that you can tell one’s social status, preferences and personality traits from the tesbih that they own and how they use their beads, many carried as second nature to a man, as their mobile phones and every day belongings would be. There has been an increased female interest in tesbihs, but they mostly remain an almost exclusively male domain, many women choosing to buy a tesbih for their husbands or fathers rather than for themselves.”
