I love the unique design on this antique Talismanic Jet heirloom bead! These particular shapes were popular in the mid 20th century, and were worn "as is" with their beautiful, blocky angular shapes and clean linear geometry. Added to Tasbih Prayer Bead Malas, or strung on a cord as a Protective Amulet, these rare and important beads would have been an Heirloom and Prized Possession believed to dispel and defeat negative energy, both from inside the wearer, and attacks by others. #jet #antiquejet #heirloomjet #handcarvedjet #jetbeads #jetjewelry #jetnecklace #talismanjewelry #talismanic #uniquebeads #rarebeads #uniquejewelry #rarejewelry #antiquejewelry #fashion #style #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT7yMsqvP28/?utm_medium=tumblr
