Natural Persian Jade is a variety of jade called Nephrite Jade that is found in Iran (formerly known as Persia). It is a greenish-gray to white stone that has been prized for its beauty and cultural significance for thousands of years. The Persians believed that jade had healing properties and used it in medicine, while in Chinese culture it has been used for artistic, religious, and ceremonial purposes. Others believe jade has metaphysical properties and is thought to promote tranquility, balance, and harmony. It is often used in meditation and spiritual practices.
Jade is a tough and durable stone that is resistant to chipping and breaking. We use the highest dyed quality to make these Persian Jade Bahai Prayer Beads.
We string our Bahai Prayer Beads with 95 semi-precious stones plus 5 counter beads. This set has a spacer after every 19 beads. Since we use them ourselves, we string the beads loosely. This way they pass easily between your fingers as you pray.
Each set of prayer beads comes with a copy of the Gift of Prayers as well as a fold-out instruction sheet. This contains common prayers, a pronunciation guide and an explanation of some of the many ways to use prayer beads. The set comes packaged in a velvet, drawstring pouch.
The beads are 6mm round which makes the strand about 22-23″ inches in circumference. This allows them to double as a necklace for people who wear a small hat size.
The care and craftsmanship we put into stringing the beads mirrors the delicate beauty of the beads. Each stone is like a little work of art with God’s signature shining out. The moderate price for a hand-crafted item makes them excellent gift. Think of prayerbeads as gifts for special occasions like birthdays, Holy Days, anniversaries, graduations, or when someone becomes a Bahá’í.
The quality is unconditionally guaranteed, but please read the description of the size of the bead and the length of the strand because there is a 10% restocking fee if they are returned because they aren’t the size you expected.

I have bought 2 other sets of beads, and given as gifts.. these are most beautiful, and so glad to have another set to keep at our cottage where we live as well.
They come so beautifully in a velvet pouch, with a lovely little prayer book, and a wonderful insert on prayer beads and how one can use them..
I love the difference in colors..soft and delicate..
I have been so taken care of whenever I have called with questions. Very happy with this site, and how wonderful both Justice and Karen have been in all my dealings with them.
