Beautiful! I have seen similar strands in Mali, but since they used it for praying, I did not even have the thought of buying one... (actually I could search one next time when we go there).

What I wanted to say, is, that this style is also used for modern jewellery now in this area, but less beautiful (the metal decoration is less fine than here in the prayer beads - sorry, my English vocabulary sometimes leaves me...). I have seen these strands every day in the courtyard of my in-laws... without realizing that they are really beautiful and worth to add to a collection. Perhaps next time..

Aha...here is the close up...sorry should have searched for it before asking!

These are stunners...exactly as I had presumed the decor would be . What size are the beads. I had a strand of very tiny ones which I believe may now be with Kim Price!

These are very lovely examples of the style.. thanks for posting them

The diameter of each bead is about 1 cm. They are all slightly different in size.
