Job’s Tears

Job’s Tears

8mm bracelet in Job’s Tears, a special but very nice shape to make bracelets with.

They are super light and pleasant to wear. Great to combine with bracelets in semi-precious stones.

Job’s Tears is a tall, roadside, wild grass that produces nature’s most perfect beads.
Its seed is naturally polished and has a hole through it, exactly like a bead.
The name Job’s Tears refers to the droplet-shaped, ~beads~ and to the biblical man ~Job~ of the Old Testament who endured great suffering.
It is agreed that the beads resemble tears, but there is some disagreement as to exactly whose tears the beads resemble.
Depending on where you are in the world, this plant goes by various names including David’s tears, Saint Mary’s tears, Christ’s tears, and just Plain tears drops.
The dried, gray beads are strung into necklaces throughout tropical regions of the world.

The most important use of this plant is bead jewelry. Their natural color is white, but they can be dyed shades of red, blue, green, and yellow. In addition to bead necklaces, belts, bracelets, and earrings, they are also made into rosaries.   

In Central America, strings of Job’s tears are used for the arms and legs of little seed dolls.                                   

Strings of Job’s tears were reportedly given to teething babies.
