Baha'i prayer beads, 19 and 5 prayer beads, navy blue glass pearls, dragonfly charm, hand-wired, blue rose, filigree design, tree of life

Here's a really pretty set of prayer beads, if I do say so myself.

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

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

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

The 19 smaller beads are 8mm dark navy glass pearls.

The large counter beads are 12mm navy blue glass pearls that are slightly brighter shade than the smaller beads.

This set of prayer beads measures about 18 inches long from the top of the charm to the bottom of the dragonfly.

Separating the sections is a diamond-shaped silver-toned metal filigree connector with a small blue acrylic rose cabochon.
I have affixed the acrylic rose cabochon on top of the connector with strong adhesive.

The 5 bead end has a round silver-toned tree of life charm.

The 19 bead end has a handmade beaded dragonfly. It was made with light blue 4mm glass pearls and a silver-toned metal wing bead on a metal headpin.

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.
