Handmade Collectible Komboloi with Vintage Egyptian “Masticha” Beads & Sterling Silver 925

This handmade komboloi crafted from vintage Egyptian “masticha” beads is a refined and authentic piece that reflects the traditional craftsmanship of classic komboloi making. Old masticha beads are particularly valued by collectors because of their durability, smooth texture and the distinctive patina that develops over time, giving each piece a unique character.

The komboloi consists of 33 + 1 beads, with bead dimensions of approximately 8.3 × 7.3 mm, along with one “papas” bead at the end that completes the traditional structure of the komboloi. The relatively small and uniform bead size creates a smooth and pleasant rhythm during use, allowing the beads to move comfortably through the fingers.

The 925 sterling silver fittings complement the beads with understated elegance while also reinforcing the durability of the piece. The combination of vintage Egyptian masticha beads and sterling silver elements creates a balanced aesthetic that highlights the natural beauty and warm tone of the material.

With a total length of approximately 31 cm and a weight of about 20 grams, the komboloi offers a lightweight and comfortable feel, making it easy to carry and pleasant for everyday use. Despite its light weight, masticha beads are known for their strength and resistance, ensuring long-lasting durability.

This is a collectible komboloi, distinguished by the authenticity of the vintage Egyptian masticha beads, its careful construction and its timeless, elegant appearance.
