[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3700677, member: 8708"]This was a late night FB purchase because I was intrigued by it. Described as worry beads but it looks a mixture of made up bits and pieces. Total length 14cm. I’d be grateful if you can help me unpick what it all means please. -6 beads that I think are labradorite? They have obviously been very worried by the look of their worn condition:nailbiting:!Held together with GF links. - A pressed flower in a disc- is this a flower with Islamic significance? Googling small dried up vegetation doesn’t get me far. - A disc 1.5cm across with Islamic ? symbols on both sides. Acid test on a stone holds firm at 14ct which surprised me as it looks like brass.
