Prayer Beads

I received a set of Islamic prayer beads as a gift.
There are 39 beads, but I have found out that 33 beads is usual. Why do these ones have 39?
Thanks!

seriously, it ain't Islam.....it could be Bhuddist, a mala or, likely it is a 'Chaplet of St Anthony.' Each "decade" (Triad actually) of 13 beads is one Our-Father, one Hail-Mary and one Glory-Be.
