Beads have been made by indigenous Africans for thousands of years. In ancient times Egyptians, Greeks, and Indians established trading bases in East Africa and eventually the Arabs invaded in the eighth century and established trade routes with the wealthy kingdom of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/ghana-beads\" title=\"Ghana beads\"\u003eGhana\u003c\/a\u003e in modern day Mauritania. The Arabs brought \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/glass-beads\" title=\"Glass beads\"\u003eglass beads\u003c\/a\u003e to the Niger Delta to trade for gold and slaves. European explorers and traders began to arrive in the 15th century and this was followed by a tremendous influx of beads during the colonial period. At the peak of trade it is estimated that beads accounted for 40% of total imports or 2.5lbs glass beads \/year for every man, women and child. Today the tradition of beads continues to be ingrained in African culture and \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/trade-beads\"\u003eold trade beads\u003c\/a\u003e are still used for internal commerce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe modern production of beads is in some sense a family tradition where tools and techniques are passed from one generation to the next. Beadmaking is a labor-intensive process and since many beads are hand made, this leads to variability in the appearance of individual beads even within a single strand. Production of beads is distributed throughout many countries on the African continent however the Hausa people of West Africa are particularly known for dominating the bead trade where they travel extensively to locate beads in villages, modify many beads, and sell them to local and foreign merchants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfrican Beads are made from a diverse array of materials. Some of the oldest beads were made from natural materials such as \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/stone-beads\" title=\"Stone beads\"\u003estones\u003c\/a\u003e, clay, plant materials such as doum palm nuts and bamboo stems, animal materials such as ostrich eggshells, bones such as the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/batik-bone-beads\" title=\"Batik bone beads\"\u003eBatik Bone bead\u003c\/a\u003e of Kenya, buffalo horn, and marine shells such as the Conus. These materials continue to be used today. Similarly, metal beads have been made from gold, bronze, and brass especially in West African countries such as Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/mali-beads\" title=\"Mali beads\"\u003eMali\u003c\/a\u003e, Cameroon, and Senegal. Silver has also been traditionally popular in \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/ethiopian-beads\" title=\"Ethiopian beads\"\u003eEthiopia\u003c\/a\u003e. Finally, glass beadmaking is also an ancient tradition in Africa where it has been practiced for at least 1000 years. The two techniques for making glass beads that dominate in Africa are \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/powder-glass-beads\" title=\"Powder glass beads\"\u003ePowder-glass Beadmaking\u003c\/a\u003e and Bida Glass Beadmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe uses of beads in Africa are as varied as the materials used to make them. Beadwork is very popular in many African nations and is integrated into many art forms including clothing such as the stand-out collars of the Maasai tribe, headdresses and belts, wooden sculptures, small leather amulets, and a myriad of jewelry items where beads are regarded as items of wealth, power, and status. Because of their long history, beads continue to play a role in many traditional rites and ceremonies such as coming-of-age, circumcision, marriage, burial, and local festivals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe number of different African and African Trade Bead varieties in existence today is enormous. Any attempt at classification is further complicated by the fact that many beads have been reworked and redecorated over time to conform to local tastes and preferences. Some of the most well known varieties of African Beads today are \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/krobo-beads\" title=\"Krobo beads\"\u003eKrobo Beads\u003c\/a\u003e, Kakamba Beads, Mali Clay Beads and Mali Wedding Beads, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/chevron-beads\" title=\"Chevron beads\"\u003eChevrons\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/millefiori-beads\" title=\"Millefiori beads\"\u003eMillefiori\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/vaseline-beads\" title=\"Vaseline beads\"\u003eVaseline Beads\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/white-heart-beads\" title=\"White heart beads\"\u003eWhite Heart Beads\u003c\/a\u003e, Kiffa Beads, and \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/hebron-beads\" title=\"Hebron trade beads\"\u003eHebron Beads\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2016-04-02T08:48:00-07:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Ghana"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Kenya"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Ethiopia"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Ivory Coast"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Mali"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Burkina Faso"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Cameroon"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Nigeria"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Niger"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Guinea-Bissau"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Morocco"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Sudan"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Afghanistan"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Togo"},{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"West Africa"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":293181030555,"handle":"all-products-oos","title":"All Products including Out of Stock","updated_at":"2025-03-09T00:30:07-08:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2023-09-18T15:21:32-07:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"variant_inventory","relation":"greater_than","condition":"-1000"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":79632826458,"handle":"beads","title":"Beads","updated_at":"2025-03-09T00:30:07-08:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2018-09-30T19:33:37-07:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Bead"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":239126315163,"handle":"beads-for-jewelry-design","title":"Beads for Jewelry Design","updated_at":"2025-03-09T00:30:07-08:00","body_html":"Explore our selection of beads and supplies for jewelry making.

But while tribes in the South and West of Africa have a long affiliation with clay bead production, it is the Dogon tribes of Bandiagara in Mali who are modernly revered for their beautiful black clay creations. Distinguished by their charcoal coloration and elaborate milgrain-like detailing, Mali Clay Spindle Whorl Beads were originally intended for use as currency among trans-Saharan merchants. Their value to merchants was determined by their coloration – the darker the beads, the higher their net worth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClay Beads from Mali are distinguishable from other beads in Africa by their coloration. Most natural clay found in Africa is of a reddish-brown hue, however, in the cliffs of Bandiagara, it is near black. Modern crafters often manipulate the hue by adding ground ash, charcoal and the remnants of other pottery or china to the ground down clay mixture. Water, oil and tree gum are added to the mixture to help it adhere during firing, and the clay is then fashioned into a conical spindle whorl shape. Designs are carved into the surface using a hacksaw blade or shard of glass, and the beads are then fired in an open charcoal brazier. Once cool, they are immersed in a whitewash several times before they are left to dry. Excess paint is gently rubbed off using a cloth, leaving just the carved areas decorated. Red clay beads produced by the Zarma people are made using a very similar technique, but although beautiful, they aren't nearly as popular as their black counterparts.","published_at":"2016-04-02T08:48:00-07:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"product_metafield_definition","relation":"equals","condition":"Clay"},{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Clay"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":322183823515,"handle":"couponable","title":"Couponable","updated_at":"2025-03-09T00:30:07-08:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2024-11-15T11:15:03-08:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Couponable"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":20873510940,"handle":"decorative-beads","title":"Decorative Beads","updated_at":"2025-03-08T20:28:35-08:00","body_html":"Nothing adds a touch of character to a room more than a large strand of rustic, handmade beads.
