Custom made in Greece 14k gold chain. The Beads are made of Amber Resin, all the way at the very end enclosing the chain with a beautiful Gold Citrine. In Greece, the Komboloi is one of the most Traditional ways a man can " soothe his worries ". In Mount Athos, the monks made strands of beads by tying knots on a string at regular intervals in order to say their prayers to God.
