This is a stunning, unique necklace. The bead is known as a donkey bead. I believe my grandmother brought it back from her travels to Egypt when she was a young woman. I love this artistic bright blue irregular handmade ceramic bead strung on the minimalist sterling silver chain. It really couldn\'t be more elegant. The chain is 19.5 inches long.

Donkey beads are a superstitious good luck stone in the East. Translated from \"Khar Mohreh\" (which means \"The Mark of the Donkey\"), it was placed around a donkey\'s neck to drive away evil spirits. Over the years it has served as ornaments in jewelry, for decoration and many other purposes. However, it is still considered to bring the owner \"good luck\" and \"long life\". The Donkey Bead is made from quartz that is crushed, molded, and glazed with cobalt. The traditional color is blue, with very slight variation. The entire process is done by hand, which accounts for the individuality of each piece.
