Shielding Bracelets

you could be right Kit Hail to the Empire! lol

well I can't find the tags. I think I threw them out already so not sure what the sizes are. The green beads are the biggest, white medium and rainbow tiny tiny spacer's.

So far I have Mopped the floor (Hands and Knees) Carried heavy crates up and down stairs, Shot up some paper with rifle/pistol and regular chores around the house and its not only held up to the abuse, but never once got in the way

I do this! I'm glad to know other people do, too

Mine vary depending on what I'm feeling. I make one with stones/colors that seem right for the moment and when I feel like I should change the bracelet I take it apart and make a new one that feels appropriate. One common stone I nearly always use is rainbow moonstone, though.

There's a bunch of good sources of beads on Etsy. Just make sure to read the description: they indicate whether it's genuine stone or not.

As a prayer bead maker, I'd like to suggest eBay. I've found many good stones at a reasonable price there.

Here's my current one. It's a bit hard to tell in the picture, but there are 4 types of beads in the strand: malachite, rose quartz, moonstone, and silicon.



The numbers, in the same order, are 9, 10, 11, and 5. There's also 1 white lotis shaped focal bead and 1 tassel with 2 parts. The numbers are important. The Baha'i Faith tends to use 9, 19, and 95 for meditations. So there's 9 malachite, then add 10 rose quartz for 19, then multiply by 5 silicon for 95. For Jedi, there's the 5 silicon for the Code, and then add 11 moonstone for 16 Teachings. The large white focus bead plus two dangling tassel things are 3 for the Tenants, and I can also use the 9 malachite, 10 moonstone, 1 focus bead, and call it 1 tassel for a total of 21 for the Maxims.
