Women's Prayer Beads, Burmese Jade, 8mm Bead, One-Hand Style, Iron Willow Tassel, Limited Edition

Jade has been prized in Japan since the Jomon period, when it was worked into magatama beads and other ornaments. Sometimes called the 'emerald of the Orient' for its rarity, it has been used as a noble ornament since ancient times; its stone-word meaning is 'health,' which is why prayer beads made from it are often given as a wish for good health. This one-hand piece lets you enjoy the beautiful green tone and distinctive patterning unique to Burmese jade, finished here with a distinctive iron-willow-style tassel; the same Burmese jade rosary is also available with other tassel colors. Only one piece is available.
