bead culture
Beads tell silent yet vital stories about their makers, traders and owners. We refer to Bead Culture: they first appeared forty thousand years ago and ever since, they have been made and used by virtually every culture worldwide.
By wearing their own unique beads, their owners express their inner selves.
bead language
Beads have a place in almost every area of human life. They help express religious beliefs, political history and social circumstances. People have been using beads for thousands of years for prayer, trading, to communicate status and to cement political alliances. Beads speak their own language.
