This necklace doubles as prayer beads you can wear covertly throughout your day, as the bead pattern tells this divine couple's love story. As each bead was wrapped by hand, they were sung love songs. The tale of Eros and Psyche was whispered to the necklace as it was worked and awoken, each bead taught what it represents in the tale. Wear or pray with this necklace to call in the divine Love and Wisdom of the Beloved Lovers, that they may show you the path to a harmonious, loving partnership rooted in mutual respect between equals. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe tale begins at one end, with a section of 4 rose quartz bead: 4 for balanced love between equals, rose quartz for pure, honest love. The first bead is Eros the Lover, used to sending Love to others but receiving none. Psyche the Lover is second, who gives her whole heart to her family and receives only envy in return. When they meet and fall in love, Eros the Lover becomes Eros the Loved in the Third bead; the fourth bead, Psyche the Loved, shows her returned affections. Psyche's jealous sisters end the blissful but tenuous Honeymoon phase and move them into the Dark Night of Doubt, represented by black river stone beads. Black, for the shadows that hide the secrets the lovers keep from each other, and river stone, for the flowing tears caused by doubt and mistrust. Two black river stone represent both Psyche and Eros in their doubt before the Lamp is lit and their True Selves are revealed. The Lamp is represented by a real gold-dyed freshwater pearl in the very center of the necklace and the fulcrum of their relationship. Once the Lamp is lit, they are able to see each other truly, but must suffer together and rely on each other's strength to fully escape the Dark Night. They learn how to work together even in hardship as Psyche completes her trials, with two more black river stone beads; there are a total of 4 river stone beads for Psyche's 4 trials. They move then into Harmonious Union, knowing how their True Selves fit together, represented by 4 more rose quartz beads. Psyche has now achieved apotheosis, standing at Eros's side as his honored equal. In the last section, the 1st and 2nd bead are Eros the Lover and Eros the Loved, finally united and made whole. They stand hand in hand with the 3rd and 4th bead, Psyche the Lover and Psyche the Loved: whole, in both harmony and balance with her divine partner, who both accepts her love and returns it whole-heartedly. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe also offer prayer cards designed to be prayed with this sequence of prayer beads.

The pattern of the figaro chain flows forward to a section of 4 rose quartz beads: 4 for two equals in harmony, rose quartz for pure, honest love. The first bead is Eros the Lover, who meets the second bead, Psyche the Lover. Through their meeting they become the 3rd and 4th beads: Eros the Loved and Psyche the Loved. They leave the Honeymoon phase, as Psyche's sisters sew doubt in her heart, passing them into the Dark Night of Doubt. Two black river stones, representing shadowy secrets and flowing tears follow, representing each Lover in their fear before the Lamp is turned on. The illuminating, harshly honest light of the Lamp is represented by a gold-dyed real freshwater pearl at the fulcrum of their relationship and the very center of the prayer beads. Though the light is on, they move into Psyche's Trials and the readjustment period when they learn to fit together as their True Selves, shown here as 2 more black river stones.

Finally, the prayer beads end with a butterfly, the symbol of Psyche's apotheosis that allows her to confidently stand as Eros's equal. Each bead was wrapped by hand as love songs were sung over them.

The pattern of the figaro chain flows forward to a section of 4 rose quartz beads: 4 for two equals in harmony, rose quartz for pure, honest love. The first bead is Eros the Lover, who meets the second bead, Psyche the Lover. Through their meeting they become the 3rd and 4th beads: Eros the Loved and Psyche the Loved. They leave the Honeymoon phase, as Psyche's sisters sew doubt in her heart, passing them into the Dark Night of Doubt. Two black river stones, representing shadowy secrets and flowing tears follow, representing each Lover in their fear before the Lamp is turned on. The illuminating, harshly honest light of the Lamp is represented by a gold-dyed real freshwater pearl at the fulcrum of their relationship and the very center of the prayer beads. Though the light is on, they move into Psyche's Trials and the readjustment period when they learn to fit together as their True Selves, shown here as 2 more black river stones. Together, each black bead can also be one of the 4 trials of Psyche.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e              Finally, they pass into Harmonious Union, where each person is both whole and their True Selves. Eros the Lover and Eros the Loved are the 1st and 2nd bead in this section, the two halves of the whole reunited and standing hand-in-hand with Psyche the Lover and Psyche the Loved, the 3rd and 4th bead. Finally, the prayer beads end with a butterfly, the symbol of Psyche's apotheosis that allows her to confidently stand as Eros's equal. Each bead was wrapped by hand as love songs were sung over them. While they were worked and awoken, they were told the tale of Eros and Psyche as told here to enliven and awaken the prayer beads to connect with Eros and Psyche.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLover Birds glass cube: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ea vintage glass cube with the Lover Birds encased in the center; they are depicted as two swans touching beaks with a heart between them.

A bronze-tone coin depicting wheat represents her first trial where she must sort huge piles of grain, while a large bottle of wool with gold leaf represents the golden fleece she must gather in her second trial. Her third trial is depicted with a vintage miniature amphora, representing the vessel she uses to gather water from the rivers of the Underworld. Her final trial, where she must collect Persephone's beauty cream, is represented by a charcoal dog skull for Cerberus, who guards the entrance to the Underworld.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLa Mano dell’Amore (The Hand of Love) keychain amulet: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis amulet features the Hand of Love, here depicted holding a ring, with charms representing the Lovers. Eros's hand holds a wing, heart, arrow, and lantern for Eros, with the lantern representing the lamp Psyche lights to see each other truly. Psyche's hand holds a butterfly, a prismatic glass teardrop for both her tears and the apotheosis they lead to, a lantern, and a heart. These charms have had love songs sung over them and the tale of Eros and Psyche whispered to them as they were made. With movement, they ring like bells, singing to you of the respect required for an honest, loving relationship. Both hands hang together from a gold-tone key ring with a lobster claw attachment as a keychain\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVintage Psyche brooch:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e A hand-painted vintage wooden brooch, with pin for use on the back side.
