Orthodox Chotki, Orthodox prayer beads, silver tone, Olive wood, Carnelian beads, detailed crucifix, hand-wired, OOAK, Komboskini

$35.00

This Chotki is made with Carnelian and Olive wood beads and is set in silver-toned metal.

It has a detailed, silver-toned metal crucifix.

Chotki, sometimes also known as Komboskini, are used in Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Most Komboskini are made with wool and are knotted.

These Chotki are a more modern variation and are hand-wired like rosaries.

This set is hand-wired using eye pins and my trusty little looper tool.
This is not a store-bought rosary chain.

This Chotki has 3 sets of 11 beads separated by 3 larger beads.

The smaller beads are 8mm Olive wood beads from Jerusalem, Israel.

These Olive wood beads are made from pruning cuttings or fallen limbs.
No trees are harmed.
It is said that some of these olive trees have been there since Jesus was alive.

The large beads are 12mm Carnelian gemstone beads.

The eye pins in this set of beads are silver-toned metal.

The jump ring and crucifix are silver-toned metal, as well.
The crucifix is 48x31mm.
25.4mm is about 1 inch.

All findings and crucifixes are plated base metal and are nickel, lead, and arsenic-free.

This set of prayer beads is 12 inches long from the center top of the loop to the bottom of the crucifix.

If you would prefer a plain cross instead of a crucifix, please let me know and I will swap it out for you.

Custom orders are welcome.

Silver, gold, copper, brass, or gunmetal toned metal can be used.
Stainless steel findings are also now available.

Many more bead and glass pearl choices are available.

Gemstones and Sterling Silver findings and crucifixes are also an option but will require longer to ship.

This Chotki will come with a complimentary organza bag for safe storage.

More info on the Eastern Orthodox Christianity, including Greek and Russian Orthodox, will be added at a later date.

Information on how to pray using the beads will also be added.
