Now for the History…

Some History… Clay beads go back centuries, to at least 1000 BC Clay was abundant and was the province of the poor. While the wealthy Europeans of the late Roman Empire wore precious stones and metals, the migratory tribes people adorned themselves with clay. Clay beads were produced simultaneously all over the world, including in the Phillippines, Thailand and Peru. To this day, Peru, China, Thailand, Greece and India produce a great many ceramic beads.

Some History… Beads have been significant for many cultures for eons. They've been used as money and worn as talismans and amulets to bring wisdom and fortune to the wearer. Found dating back 38,000 years, beads have been made from pebbles, shells, teeth, claws, clay, glass and more. Glass became an important material in beadmaking with its discovery, around 3400 years ago.

Some Cultural connections Clay beads have been used in Muslim prayer strands In Thailand as amulets as well as in jewelry. When they were introduced into the United States by the first European settlers, the clay beads were very popular with the Native Americans. Clay beads have large holes that could accommodate leather cords so they were used as decoration on horse reins. Some nations so prize their clay bead heritage that they protect the simple bead from export. For example, Guatemala has restricted the export of their Mayan ceramic beads. They have since been replaced by plastic beads, ceramic beads were the New Orleans Mardi Gras beads of the 1920s. Ceramic beads again become popular in the 'hippie days' of the 60s and 70s when people wanted an earthy feel to their beads.

Symbolism There are a number of symbols used in the world in beads and other objects, and it’s useful to know the meanings of these.

Some Symbols… Spiral – a symbol of being, knowing or becoming. Circle – totality, perfection, unity, eternity. A symbol of completeness that can include ideas of permanence and dynamism. Eye – occult 3rd eye, or eye of the heart can mean spiritual perception. Sometimes an eye is painted on an object to protect against the evil eye. Blue is a popular color for these. Dots – are also called eye beads and were used to protect against the evil eye.
