Lammas bangle, expandable bangle, Lammas jewelry, matches prayer beads, Lughnasadh bracelet, quartz pendulum, sea glass, Cimaruta jewelry

This cute silver-toned metal expandable charm bangle was made with Lammas, or Lughnasadh, in mind.

It matches a Lammas themed prayer bead strand I recently made.

It's made with a silver-toned metal expandable bangle and features a gemstone point, silver-toned metal charms, and bead dangles.

I made this bangle with extra charms to match the items in the Cimaruta amulet the prayer beads have.

In the center is a small bullet-shaped clear Quartz pendulum point.

It has four silver-toned metal charms. There is a tree, an acorn, a crescent moon, and a key.

On the ends are dangles made with 8mm purple frosted recycled cultured sea glass.
I'd be glad to change the beads for a different color if you would prefer that.

All are attached to the bangle with silver-toned aluminum jump rings.

According to my book of correspondences, Summer and the Sun are associated with Lammas. Also associated with Lammas are the rooster, Oak, the moon, and the color purple.

The bangle, headpins, and charms are silver-toned metal-plated alloy.

Please see the last photos for pictures of the bangle with the matching pagan prayer beads.

You can also see the matching prayer beads here :

This listing is for the bangle only.
The bangle and prayer beads are available separately or as a set.
There will be a discount if you buy them together.
Please contact me for details.

Blessed be!

A Cimaruta is an Italian Folk Magick amulet commonly worn to keep bad spirits away.

More info about the Cimaruta:

The following article, written by Jerry Finzi, appears on GrandVoyageItaly.com.

The cimaruta is a very old Italian portafortuna (good luck charm) rooted in the lore of the ancient Pagan religions of Italy. It can be worn around the neck or hung above an infant’s bed to ward off any evil. Like many of the lasting ancient symbols and beliefs, the cimaruta design eventually took on certain symbols of Catholicism.

One example of a Christian addition to the design is the appearance of “the sacred heart” of Jesus. However, ancient Roman charms did include a heart symbol, which may indicate that the heart on the cimaruta isn’t an entirely new addition.

The traditional cimaruta is fashioned after the leafy sprig of rue, which is an herb that is highly featured in Italian magic and lore. The branch of the rue is divided into three stems symbolizing the three forms of the goddess Diana. Rue was a sacred herb for Diana.

Various charms appear on the rue design, each having its own meaning. The main symbols are the moon, serpent, and key. These represent the goddess as Hecate (the key), Diana (the moon), and Proserpina (the serpent).

There may also be a rose; a hand holding either a wand or a sword; a flaming heart; a fish or dolphin (a nod to Diana); an owl (to flirt with the Devil); a plumed medieval helmet; a vervain blossom (a flower from Italian fairy ore); a cherub; a rooster (watchful guardian); and an eagle (able to see evil coming from far away).

One cimaruta, for example, might bear the collective imagery of a key, dagger, blossom, and moon. The cimaruta is worn nowadays more by women than men.
