The Development of Beading
Stringing beads together is an art that mankind has known since ancient times and that has been carried out for many reasons such as symbolizing religious beliefs. Back in the ancient world tribes used the bones of wild animals and would string them onto fibers and would then wear them for protection believing that they would be safe from bad spirits.
As civilization became more advanced man would learn how to drill and pierce holes in objects and this led to great progress in beading. 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 eventually progress with the coloring of 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. Gold and silver 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. Beading would be embraced by many different cultures including the Babylonians, Chinese and also in ancient India.
The Romans also had a great influence on the development of beading and they would trade beads all over the different parts of 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 to this very day an important part of Native American culture. Many Indian tribes in the Americas would train their womenfolk at becoming adept in the beading arts. A technique called bead quilling was considered sacred. It was the art and workmanship of bead quilling itself that was considered sacred and not the finished beaded products themselves. This is unlike Western society where it is normal to value finished products more than the workmanship that was required to produce them.
