Job's Tears beads come from the Coix lacryma-jobi plant. I successfully grew my own in my garden a few years ago when a friend gave me some of her seeds and I took a shot at growing them.
The seeds develop with a natural hole in the middle that, when cleaned out, can accommodate string or wire and can be used in all kinds of craft projects.
Mother Teresa famously had a Job's Tears rosary.
