Since we were talking about prayer beads earlier this week, how about featuring olive wood beads?

You can believe it: these are made in Bethlehem. That Bethlehem. What a great idea for wooden rosary beads!
Like many wooden beads, olive beads have large holes. So you could string these on certain styles of chain, as well as on cording or beading cable.
A note about color. (This occurred to me while searching in our website.) Olive wood beads are brown in color–very different from our “olive” colored glass beads! 
And I know someone will ask this, so right up front let me say no, our olive beads aren’t the pits! They’re actual carved wood…so they’re wonderfully smooth and silky to the touch.
