"Komboloi" Greek Style Worry Beads

Pronounced kum-bo-LOY

How did I get started making komboloi? Simple! A number of people asked for a style of comfort beads / worry beads designed so that the beads move on the string they're on. While some of my unique style comfort beads / worry beads are now made to move along their string, I wanted to explore a different style that was new to me and initially dedicated historically as strands of worry beads with moving beads. I remembered seeing friends from the Mediterranean and Middle East using komboloi years ago, and after I did some research, I started this line of comfort beads / worry beads in the style of the Greek Komboloi.

All of my Komboloi are individually handmade. Komboloi are also excellently suited as gifts for men, because tradition is that they are used by men.

Greek style worry beads are called Komboloi. Today, these beads are used to relieve stress and pass time. The word "Komboloi" comes from the Greek words kombos, to knot and loi, a group of things. From the monks using komboloi to count their prayers or chants, to the modern middle class business man of the Mediterranean, twirling and swinging of komboloi is popular in so many parts of the world. You can see Wikipedia's or About.com's articles on Komboloi for even more information on the traditions of komboloi.
