I made two sets, a normal size one and a kind of pocket/travel sized one companion set. Also one of the charms is an attached piece of sea glass which I've never done before so I'm quite proud of that!
I never really planned to make prayer beads themed after him but i found the charms just before going to the sea! And i got inspired haha
DO NOT let academia scare you away from reading philosophy. In an academic setting, a lot of philosophy, especially classical philosophy, gets overanalysed and explained in secular, modern terms which take it out of its original, often pagan context.
There are plenty of short, clear, and easy to grasp texts that will help you immensely on your spiritual journey and provide a new outlook, often written by an actual historic worshipper of the Gods.
I recommend starting out with Cicero and Plato. Cicero might have a very political connotation nowadays, but he wrote plenty of beautiful and fluid texts about the Gods and ethics that belong on every pagan's bookshelves.

Oh Apollon, great bringer of light,
Healer of plague and disease,
Protector of the home and roads,
I ask that you heal me and those around me,
Of disease,
Of negative energy,
Of illness,
Of what you can remove.
Oh wings of crow,
Lover of light,
Take what we don’t own,
Make it right,
Oh protector,
Protect me from harm,
Oh Apollo Acestor
