“A kind word is like a spring day.”

Russian proverb

Originally, Morse code represented characters by combinations of two impulses: "long" and "short", which could materialize as sound, light or gesture signals. When these two impulses are transcribed into text, they are replaced by two symbols. The "long" ones look like dashes and the "short" ones like dots.

It is this literal transcription that allows us to transpose the code into combinations of beads. Three beads for a long one and only one for a short one. Within each letter, when there are several symbols, they are separated by a gold or silver-coloured bead depending on the chosen finish.

For example, the "b", which is transcribed "−···" will become

An ivory-coloured bead spaces each letter. For example, "abc", which is transcribed as "·− −··· −·−·" will become
