Profile: « Chapelet noir » is French for “the black rosary," from the latin rosarium meaning "rose garden." This piece symbolizes resilience in the face of darkness: a beacon in necklace form. The traditional rosary is a counting tool for prayer not meant to be worn, and has a long, sacred history for helping those in prayer reach an inner state of calm through rhythmic repetition. My hope is that this piece brings the holder the strength and support they need to stay in touch with their deepest self. And if we all show up like this, aren't we destined for beauty and progress?
