Every Christmas, homes and buildings all over the country are adorned with parols, star-shaped lanterns which represent the Star of Bethlehem that guided the three kings to find the baby Jesus.
The word parol comes from the Spanish farol, which means 'lantern'. During the Spanish colonial period, the lanterns were used to light the way of the nine-day Christmas novena procession. At the time, the parol was a simple rectangular or oblong shape. It wasn't until the American colonial period that it acquired its iconic five-pointed star shape, which inspired this collection.
The Starfall Necklace features a parol in jewel tones that adorn a star link chain. Pearls stud the chain length, making the necklace look like Spanish calado jewelry.
Size:16 inches in length, plus 2 inch extender chain.
Materials: Glass seed beads, freshwater pearl, waxed thread, gold-tone stainless steel chain and findings. Stainless steel findings make these safe for sensitive ears.
Preorder. Ships out between October to November, in time for Christmas!
