Baha'i prayer beads, 19 and 5 prayer beads, bronze tone, blue glass pearls, handmade chain tassel, hand-wired, blue rose, filigree design

These bright blue 19 and 5 prayer beads are really pretty with the bronze findings.

These Baha'i 19 and 5 style prayer beads are in done bronze toned metal.

All findings and charms in this set of prayer beads are bronze toned metal.

The beads are hand-wired on eye pins using my trusty little looper tool.

The 19 smaller beads are 10mm blue glass pearls.

The large counter beads are 12mm blue glass pearls. These are just a tad brighter in color.

This set of prayer beads measures about 19 1/2 inches long from the top of the filigree connector to the bottom of the tassel.

The 5 bead end has a diamond shaped bronze-toned metal filigree connector and a medium sized light blue acrylic rose cabochon.
I have affixed the acrylic rose cabochon on top of the connector with strong adhesive.

The 19 bead end has a handmade chain tassel in bronze toned metal chain.

Please note that this is mostly antiqued bronze. Some of the eye pins on which the pearls are beaded have a slight patina.

All prayer beads will come in a small organza bag for safe storage.
----------------------------------------------------
The Baha'i faith was founded in the mid-1800's by a Persian holy man named Baha'u'llah. Persons of Baha'i faith recite Allah-u-Abha, a form of God's name, 95 times a day. Baha'i prayer beads consist of some factor of 95. The 19 beads, when counted 5 times, makes 95. The smaller 19 beads count the recitation of God's name and the larger 5 beads keep track of the number of repetitions of the 19.
The spacer beads are decorative and are not counted.

Much more information about Baha'i, the history, symbolism, and how to pray using the beads will be added.
