Collier Prière du Cœur (The Prayer of the Heart Necklace)

Collier Prière du Cœur - The Lord's Prayer
(The Prayer of the Heart Necklace)
 
A piece of quiet devotion and timeless elegance, the Collier Prière du Cœur is designed to be both meaningful and enduring—an heirloom to wear close to the heart.
 
This necklace is thoughtfully crafted with 6x4mm Alabaster Pink Luster Picasso oval rice beads, softly luminous with a gentle blush tone. Accenting each side are 4mm Pink Topaz Luster Picasso fire-polished Czech glass beads, adding a delicate shimmer.
 
At the center of the design, the necklace transitions into rare vintage Japanese Cherry Brand glass beads (5x11mm oval), handmade in the late 1940s to early 1950s and originally part of the iconic Miriam Haskell stock. These heirloom-quality beads bring depth, history, and authenticity to the piece.
 
The back of the necklace is finished with smaller coordinating Cherry Brand beads (approximately 3x7mm), also vintage Japanese glass from the same era.
All metal elements are .925 sterling silver, including the hook clasp, offering both beauty and lasting quality.
 
At the center rests a two-sided devotional medal (29x33mm) in antique silver/pewter. One side features a cross, while the reverse carries the full Lord’s Prayer, cast from a vintage medal—its softened details reflecting years of faith, touch, and reverence. It is a deeply personal focal point, rich with meaning and quiet strength.
