Round green jade, Paradise Shine swarovski crystals, mauve lampwork beads, seed beads, lavender tassel

”Indulge not your bodies with rest, but work with all your souls, and with all your hearts cry out and beg of God to grant you His succor and grace. Thus may ye make this world the Abha Paradise, and this globe of earth the parade ground of the realm on high. If only ye exert the effort, it is certain that these splendors will shine out, these clouds of mercy will shed down their rain, these life-giving winds will rise and blow, this sweet-smelling musk will be scattered far and wide.” —‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha.

I kid you not, the name of the Swarovski crystals in this set is Paradise Shine! And I found the perfect passage from the Baha’i Writings with both of those words!
