Braided Bracelet | Michael the Archangel (MA-HND-0361)

The bracelet consists of small knots and an icon, which makes it not just a piece of jewelry, but a Christian symbol of faith. Thanks to a special braiding technique, the bracelet can be easily stretched by increasing the distance between the knots. This means it's is suitable for different wrist sizes.

The piece is available in two variations: classic 925 sterling silver for lovers of simplicity, or gold-plated silver for those who prefer a warm glow.

Komboskini bracelets

The name of the Greek "komboskini" bracelets reflects their essence and purpose: in Greek, kombos (κόμπος) means "knot", and skini (σχοινί) is a rope or cord.

Bracelets are braided in a special way: each knot consists of 9 crosses of cord, symbolizing the nine crosses, or nine angelic ranks. Often seed beads, little crosses or icons are woven into the bracelet.

Komboskini bracelets are usually worn on the wrist of the left hand, as it's closer to the heart. Believers often give such bracelets to their family and friends to remember and pray for them.

Saint Michael the Archangel

The Archangel Michael is the chief angel, the head of the holy host of Angels and Archangels. "Archangel Michael" includes five words:

arch - senior

angel - messenger

mi - who

ka - like

el - God

The literal translation of the name, "Who is like God?", suggests a questioning intonation. Thus, the name "Michael" means "no one is equal to God".
