Usually 33 x 3 beads (or 99 beads). This symbolizes the 99 Allah names or attributes. It is sunnah after praying to say 'SOBHANALLAH' 33 times, 'ALHAMDULELLA' 33 times, and 'ALLAHUAKBAR' 33 times. This explains why usually the Islamic bead usually has 99 beads with separators on each 33 beads. Sometimes a smaller bead has only 33 beads for the same reason.

What are prayer bracelets?

Prayer bracelets are often used for prayer by Christians. They are usually woven so that they look like they have beads on them. There is a short prayer called "the Jesus prayer" that's about 2 sentences long that they keep repeating and the prayer bracelet has the same number of "beads" on it as the number of times they're supposed to repeat the prayer. So, a prayer bracelet is used to keep track of how many times you say it.
