Beads are purposeful and playful. For approximately 100,000 years beads have withstood the test of time. Originally made from shells, beads are one of the first materials in history used for decorative jewelry making. In prehistoric times beads played a role in tradition and rituals and today this remains true along with their use in pure decoration and aesthetics. For some they are calming stress relievers like worry beads and for others they are a great way to dangle decor on your key chain, shoes, purses, and jewelry.
