Beads History - The Development of Beading
The art of stringing beads together has been known to mankind since ancient times and has been practiced for many reasons including symbolizing religious beliefs. In the ancient world tribes would use the bones of animals and string them onto fibers and would wear them believing that they would protect the wearer from bad spirits.
As human civilization advanced beading progressed as a result of man learning how to pierce objects through drilling holes. Necklaces would be created from many objects that would include seashells, seed pods and nut shells as well as many other objects. Bead development would later progress by coloring the beads. Clay beads would often be coated in enamel
The Egyptians were masters of glass making and they would revolutionize bead making as glass beads were far more beautiful and could be used to make the most wonderful necklaces. They would use glass of many different colors and combine these colored glass beads with precious and semi-precious gemstones. Silver and gold would also be added.
There would be a great demand for beads and they would become a valuable trading commodity that would be exported and traded all around the world since ancient times. Many cultures would embrace beading especially the Chinese, Babylonians and in ancient India.
Beading development would also be greatly influenced by the Romans as they would trade their beads throughout the Roman Empire. This influence would spread to the Celts and the Vikings who would use beads to make wonderful bracelets, necklaces and amulets. Beading would also be embraced by the Native American Indians whose works are still used today in the latest fashions such as in turquoise colored watch bands, necklaces and belts.
Beading was and still is an integral part of Native American culture. Many Indian tribes in the Americas would train their womenfolk at becoming adept in the beading arts. A technique known as bead quilling was considered to be sacred. The workmanship and art of bead quilling was considered sacred and not the finished beaded items themselves. This is unlike Western society where it is normal to value finished products more than the workmanship that was required to produce them.
