Joan of Arc represents strength of heart & resilience- a perfect gift that says, "Thank you!" for a long-time partner!     ABOUT THE ARTIST: Miss Larson is a Lay Carmelite whom began making rosaries and chaplets to sell at benefits for the needy.  Each benefit sold out all her work- and she was able to present the highest single benfit amounts to each of her causes!  Many people whom saw her work wished to be able to wear her pieces.  So... Ethereal Jewelry was born!  The Prayer Necklaces now even have their own copyrights.  Who would've guessed? Upon request, Miss Larson can reconfigure your Chaplets, Rosaries, or  your Favorite Medals or Crosses... so that you can wear them.  This is a common request!  For good reason- this constant contact with meaningful symbols of your Spirutal Life, the reassuring touches throughout the day,  and the ability to pray at any time (even during a five minute coffe break at work!) is of great value to your soul.  In her short career, Miss Larson has already garnered a devoted following because of her use of only the best materials... which she scouts from all over the world.    *If you are a public personae, this artist refuses to use your name for promotional, media, or tabloid purposes.   THE JOAN OF ARC CHAPLET & PRAYER NECKLACE The lovely prayers* that accompany this chaplet inspire resilience.  I think St. Joan is a fitting saint for all of us! In many ways, we are all soldiers, and at other times captives, at some point in our lives. St. Joan reminds us that when follow our true callings, no matter how irrational they may outwardly seem- amazing, even magicalal things can happen!  Her face under her banner calls us to Faith. "To honor this amazing Saint... of course I wanted to make it gorgeous... yet as fantastical and inspiring as her victory over the English!  Traditionally, this chaplet has 3 Blue Beads.  Using Creamy Blue Rose Lampwork beads, I made Roses for St. Joan, with beautiful, fluttering "leaves" of Sky Blue Keishi Pearls!  They bring up the feminine, the mystery of her visions... with Swarovski Crystal "stems" in a sparkling Green Chrysolite! The 5 Red beads between each are Swarovski 8mm rounds in the deepest, lovliest Siam.  They are spiked with Sapphire Blue Swarovski... and the ends are fittingly crowned with regal Bali Squares! The Centerpiece is a Sterling Silver Miraculous Medal... ... and the Medal is just amazing!  A French Antique by the famed Art Nouveau relief artist, Becker, is has been left with its Original Patina. The front shows St. Joan under her Banner, and the back belies the Banner swirling over her Sword in the wind!  A triumph!"   The Prayer Necklace is constructed so that the "Round" fits your neck Choker Style.  This is my favorite placement- it's very feminine and allows the crystals and gems to illuminate your complexion and make you glow!  At back...attached to the is a Sterling Silver Flower Toggle Clasp that is so beautiful it could be the focal for a lesser piece. However, this is no lesser piece... and it dazzles from every direction! To sum up, I made this piece.... It is not only meant to honor this amazing Saint, but also remind You to be True to Yourself, your Inner Warrior... and your Graceful Femininity. I hope you wear it and know that you are strong and beautiful." *If you wish to know these or other chaplet prayers, e-mail Miss Larson at wterbeauty@aol, and she will send it to you.     To Our Dear Clients, We know that people come to Ebay expecting to pay the lowest price they can.  We don't fault you for that, and realize that money doesn't grow on trees.  Please know that Ms. Larson's work is fairly priced. As the materials she builds with are very fine, each work is quite expensive to make.  Miss Larson absorbs this cost herself (she is not wealthy) because she truly hopes her work will turn peoples' eyes to God.  Also,  please bear in mind the extraordinary effort the Dana puts into each piece.  Each work, to her, is her way of offering a Prayer and Gift to God.  Please respect this rare devotion, and make your offers in consideration of this.
