Highlights
These white Padre beads were found in Ethiopian and are estimated to be over 100 years old. Originally made in Europe, these beads traveled across the world to Africa and the Americas by Spanish missionaries, monks and traders and used as currency. The name of these beads come from the 16th-18th century Catholic Spanish priests called "Padres" or "father" who wore these beads, which may have been party of the rosaries the priests would carry.
These authentic Padre beads are old and antique, so natural pitting, chips and erosion is apart of their beauty. Their old age, travels and wear rendered different shades of white and variations in their finishes, some shiny some more matte. No two beads are the same and these variations really make one strand all together so beautiful.
Approximate Number of Beads: 90
Bead Size: 8-9mm x 6-7mm
Hole Size: 2mm
Strand Length: 25"
