Prayer Beads - Universal Cross

The simple silver encircled cross is the most ancient cross symbol we know. Found in both early Celtic Christian and Pre-Christian carvings, it is a universal symbol, sacred to many people from cultures everywhere. The cross has been made exclusively for Céile Dé by Rhiannon Jewellers in Wales.
