closeup silver inlay beads and Berber pendants

Portal pendant with two khamsas. The beads have a soulful feeling. Is it possible they were once part of a prayer strand?

Hi Toya, the beads are usually Mauritanian prayer beads, though in recent years I've seen them produced commercially for export to the western market. They are usually ebony with silver inlay, but can be made of black resin or plastic as well. These look nice!
