19th century, Morocco
Gorgeous Moroccan prayer beads, all perfectly sized for this pieces. It is rare Jewels can find a group to match this well. Please note, the photographer and her camera are woefully limited in conveying the true beauty of these beads. They are not dull and yellow; they are opalescent and fabulous! The cord is a light taupe; it almost looks silver against the beads.
One of a kind
Average bead: 1/4 x 3/16″

A note about our woven cords. We weave these by hand, every one of them. Like all Jewels’ work no two are exact, as each of us. The work is labor intensive. When warmed to the skin the cord becomes more supple, conforms to the wearer, hangs at it should; the necklace transforms more than just a necklace. It becomes her or him.
