This style of prayer beads have been made in Ethiopia for a long, long time. Older ones tend to be heavier and finished with more care. Two halves are joined together to make a hollow bead. I believe these are silver plated tin, but could not find information that confirmed that for sure. Each strand has a yarn tassel attached to a focal bead. These beads are much like Catholic Rosary Beads, used by Christians in Ethiopia. There are 68 beads in a strand.

Length: About 28″

Bead size: 1cm long, 8mm diameter

Shipping Policy

Shipping will be billed separately upon purchase of product. Buyers will be charged the rounded up total of actual shipping cost. Example: If shipping is $8.75, the cost will be $9. We normally use USPS for shipping and you can choose the method you prefer: 1st class (might be cheaper for light and small items), priority mail, flat rates (best once items get heavier than a few ounces), or express. We ship internationally, but insurance is not available to many countries so we are not responsible for lost merchandise. Please inquire before purchasing if you need clarification. Lost merchandise in the US must go through the USPS process of processing a claim, including waiting a month from the shipping date before reporting a lost package. We are located in Paducah, Kentucky, USA and your package will be shipped from here. Free shipping worldwide on purchases over $250. This is for 1st class shipping. If you want priority or any other choice, you can pay the difference.

Refund Policy

We want you to be happy with your purchase. We do the best possible to photograph and describe the items fully. If it is not what you expected, inform us within two days of receiving the package that it will be returned and send it back within five days. We will accept returns for any reason. Once we receive it in the same condition as it was sent, we will issue a refund for the purchase but not the shipping.
