Sterling silver prayer box with color-filled puzzle pieces on 18" sterling chain.

Prayer boxes in general are categorized as having three main uses; Religious, Inspirational and Sentimental.

In religious use, the common practice would be to place a prayer or wish into the prayer box. For many it is said that by doing so, your prayer or wish would come true.

For Inspiration, a friend may offer this as inspiration after a trying time, perhaps a break up, or a loss of a loved one, or for many, just use it as a piece of jewelry.

For a sentimental use, the prayer box may have been given by a wife or husband with a special note tucked into the box. Or best friends moving away tucking away phone numbers or special memories into it.
