Known in Greece as komboloi (from the word 'kombos' or knot), WORRYBEADS are said to dispel anxiety, soothe the soul, insure safe journeys, ward off the forces of darkness, and bring good luck. Although traditionally seen in the hands of men who sit at village kafeneia or coffee houses, komboloi have become a fashion statement in chic Athenian neighborhoods for both sexes. The imported lapiz and sterling komboloi (pictured here) make an ideal gift for a best man, a friend's nameday, or a woman with verve (Melina Mercouri was never without her signature komboloi). Image samples of komboloi also available from The Stefana Collection Silver Lapis Dark Amber Light Amber Resin Bone #1 #2 #3 All komboloi in the collection Shipping included for continental US only.
