Baha'i prayer beads, 19 and 5 prayer beads, gunmetal tone, white glass pearls, chain tassel, hand-wired, turquoise glass beads, shell charm

These white and turquoise Baha'i prayer beads remind me of Summer. They feature a large Ammonite charm and a handmade chain tassel.

These Baha'i 19 and 5 style prayer beads are made with gunmetal toned metal.

All findings are gunmetal toned metal.
The charm is antiqued silver toned.

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

The 19 smaller beads are 6mm dainty white glass pearls.

The large counter beads are 10mm glass beads in turquoise blue. They have a cracked look.
The 5 turquoise beads have floral gunmetal bead caps.

This set of prayer beads measures about 17 inches long from the top of the charm to the bottom of the tassel.

The 5 bead end has a silver toned metal Ammonite charm.

The 19 bead end has a handmade tassel of gunmetal toned metal chain.

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.
