A million dollar rosary!

Shenol Vaivalako, a jeweler from Antalya, has created four rosaries in 2.5 years, each of which is estimated at more than 200,000 dollars! In their production, he used gold, silver, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, Ottoman amber and diamonds. It is noteworthy that Shenol works in a small workshop with an area of only 9 m2. Vaivalako said that he wants to exhibit his rosary beads in the museum, and present one of them to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Emphasizing that each of the rosaries he created has its own story, Vaivalako says: "I depicted Hector and Achilles during the Trojan War, the helmet of the prophet Solomon, the owl he was talking to, and his army. This is a very difficult art! I think the cost of four rosaries is approaching a million dollars!"
