South African Sugilite Tenner
Natural sugilite is a high-end bead, treasured for its
fabulous purple hues. These are mass-form sugilite beads,
opaque with inclusions of richterite (gorgeous dusty blue) and
bustamite (red). The polish is beautiful, and this piece feels
like silk under the fingers. The end medal is an ornate
Miraculous Medal. Truly lovely to hold and use.

Rutilated Quartz Santiago Tenner
The finishing pieces of this tenner are elaborate Spanish
Colonial reproductions, so I chose nearly-clear golden
rutilated quartz for the beads to make the tenner more
restful to the eye. The quartz has sparse, golden needles of
rutile (titanium dioxide) and is a pale straw color. The
end medal features St. James the Greater and OL of Pilar.
This tenner is no longer available, thank you!

All Saints Tenner in Faceted Sapphire
Sterling and genuine sapphire are always a winning
combination, and this tenner is wonderful and sparkly.
All the beads are double capped with Bali Sterling "turtle"
caps, and fully wire wrapped with 22g Sterling wire.
Sapphire is heavy for its size, and this tenner feels quite
substantial in hand. A very pleasing, high end design.
This tenner is no longer available, thank you!

Blue Chalcedony Tenner With St. George
The depiction of St. George seated upon his horse and
defeating Satan conveys his patronage as our intercessor
against wickedness, both internal and external. St. George
medals, with their reverses of a ship in a tempest, are among
the most beautiful of saintly depictions. Highly polished
high-end blue chalcedony beads complete the piece. Nice!

Impression Jasper Penal Tenner
AAA grade impression jasper (African blue opal) beads
soothe the spirit with their soft hues of dusty blue, sandy
tan and a dusting of "rust." This tenner is made with a

wrapped links. Great for both men and women.
