This is a rather jumbo strand of worry beads that looks more Buddhist than Eastern Orthodox. By Fredericks & Mae, it is a collaboration with Sight Unseen.
The story of the piece’s creation:
Fredericks & Mae specialize in objects tailor-made for lazy Sunday afternoons: bocce ball sets, silk-screened kites, paper masks, and handmade archery arrows fletched with feathers sourced from bird sanctuaries or eBay. Their necklace for Sight Unseen promotes relaxation of a different sort: A horsehair tassel, held in place by a colorful threaded silk keyhole, hangs from leather cording strung with wooden worry beads the duo found during their travels in Greece. Please be advised that tassel, bead, and thread colors will vary with every order.
Materials: Horsehair, thread, wood, leather, pigment
This sells for USD $100.
IntoTemptation.....jewellery musings 
With jewelry, I’ve always said “Go big or just don’t go.” Words to live by. These necklaces remind me of the old Missoni bakelite beads. They’re huge and way expensive.

I have some really gorgeous worry beads from Greece. Amber. Pretty sure I’ve blogged about them here. Also a strand of silver inset ivory used in Islamic prayers. They are a nice thing to hold, worry beads!
I love the styling of the last image. Great blog : )
Thanks! I love jewellery and it’s gratifying to share that with others.
