Nice I love it.

Better than others.

The smell is lovely, the beads the perfect size, the bead string is of a high quality. Husband is eyeing this one, he also loves the beautiful smell.

These prayer beads are securely made and are beautiful. Having been used daily, they are sturdy.

COMMENTS: I am not Muslim, but use 3s in my own practices, which made this suitable for me. PROS: - These beads are nearly (see neutrals/below) as pictured, which was exactly what I wanted. - My beads seem to be less varnished/polished than those pictured, which is a pro to me as I prefer this in use and less shine in general. They are still quite smooth, just not slippery, and do have a sheen more than a shine. - The numbers were correct and I adore both the style and function of the 33 markers. - The additional five beads are extremely useful (wish there were 7, but that’s a personal preference), and they are tight enough that they hold your count without slipping. I haven’t tried to hold a count while walking/moving and having them hang loose though. UPDATE: They do! NEUTRALS: - My beads varied from the images in that they appear to be less varnished, are lighter (like the second set of pictures, which bummed me a little as I liked the darker, but natural variance is to be expected), and were all one color instead of having lighter markers. *Please expect variance when ordering products made of a natural substance - it’s not fair to sellers/artisans to be upset about this unless there is an extreme difference*. - I noticed absolutely very, verly little scent associated with mine. I only get a faint bit if I hold them directly under my nose. I wasn’t particularly invested in this aspect though so it doesn’t bother me. Oud is a lovely scent though. - These wrap three times, with a bit of effort, around my average to slightly larger sized wrists as a woman (which I should probably measure for you all). I would exact twice with slack for most larger wrists, possibly three with slack to four on small/very small wrists. CONS: - There is very little slack between the beads - about one bead width (8mm) - for counting. I sometimes struggle to keep on the right bead because of this, especially right after passing a marker bead. I do wish there was slightly more. CONCLUSION: - These are phenomenal beads that I was very pleased to receive. I prefer simple pieces, and these had the perfect combination of understatement with style and function with the additional counting beads and the markers. I would highly recommend this to anyone that uses beads in prayer or meditation. They come simply packaged and would make a great gift even directly shipped.
