[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 312426, member: 2844"]It looks like a mala bracelet with too much cord. Mala bracelets are the simplified version of the Buddhist mala, which is used for prayer and meditation. The mala has 108 beads and a bigger 'guru bead', which connects with the divine principle. The concept of a mala is related to that of Catholic rosaries and Islamic tasbih. Greek worry beads look somewhat similar, they are a derivative of the tasbih.[/QUOTE]
