Ketut Sulastri transforms sterling silver and beads of beautiful moonstone into a classic rosary. Traditionally used by Roman Catholics, the rosary is a form of prayer; each bead represents a "Hail Mary," repeated in a decade, or group of ten. Between each decade, the "Our Father" is prayed and a mystery of the faith is contemplated. As is typical of this type of necklace, a charm depicting Mary, the mother of Jesus, sits solemnly above five beads and a sterling silver crucifix.

From Peru's Giuliana Valz-Gen, this beautiful pendant takes the form of an amulet known as the hamsa, which means "five" in Arabic. It is considered a defense against the evil eye. Popular in Jewish culture, its five fingers can represent the five books of the Torah and the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, which represents one of the holy names of God. It is also a reminder to praise God with all five senses. Handcrafted of sterling silver bathed in 21k gold, the necklace showcases Andean filigree art.
