Mom's OM Meditation Necklace

OM Meditation Necklace
A handmade porcelain OM pendant hangs from a beaded strand of gemstones, copper and iridescent glass. Tranquil hues of purple, lavender and blue promote peace and relaxation, while neutral tones add balance and unity.

OM - A syllable commonly used as a mantra during yoga or meditation. Thought to be the sound or vibration of the universe.

This necklace was a special request from my Mom. I worked on it over the weekend. The piece is a collaborative effort between the two of us. Actually, all I did was string the necklace for her. Well, other than make the pendant, that is. :) Most of the design ideas are my Mom's! She got all the supplies together and sent the package out to me. She carefully picked out all the beads, findings and materials she wanted and she even came up with the design and pattern! Didn't she do a fabulous job?! She doesn't make jewelry, but she certainly could! She's always been creative, but I'm really impressed with the thought she put into the whole design! I never would have thought to put these beads together myself, but I just love how this turned out and the overall feeling of the piece. It's refreshing to work with beads you wouldn't normally pick yourself and be open to different ideas. This necklace has opened my eyes to new beading possibilities and new ideas for my ceramic pieces, as well. I've been enlightened and I didn't even have to meditate! LOL! :) I'm glad I got to collaborate with her and make a specially significant piece for her to wear! The necklace will get mailed out to Mom tomorrow. May she wear it in good health and happiness always. Namaste.
