The Beadwork in general has existed for approximately 10,000 B.C. and it started in Libya. Even though beadwork has existed for that long, fact is, Africa was the first place where civilization first made and wore jewellery made out of Beads.
What it is made of?
Seed beads or rocailles are uniformly shaped, spheroidal beads ranging in size from under a millimetre to several millimetres that are made of plastic and other items. Zulu bead jewellery is not only beautiful but is also rich in tradition and cultural meaning. The handmade bead work is sold to tourist as gifts, and is an important income source for the Zulu people. The beadwork was done by women using needle and thread, and particular colours and styles were favoured by certain groups or in certain areas. Simple ornaments were worn by children as protective charms, but much more elaborate pieces were made by women to give to men they liked, and a young man's popularity could be gauged by the amount of beadwork he wore on festive occasions.
