From the dazzling glass and shellwork jewelry favored by the Roman gentry to traditional Buddhist ceremonial mala, antique and vintage beaded bracelets have a storied history that spans centuries. These simple yet elegant accessories have held many different meanings in many different cultures.
The ancient Egyptians wore beaded bracelets whose symbolism was connected to specific colors of stones. The rosaries of Catholicism likewise infused sacred meaning in each bead. Native Americans used beads made from whelk and clamshells, known as wampum, as a form of money.
Craftsmanship, materials and design have all contributed to making the beaded bracelet an object of importance and value. Today, wearing a beaded bracelet is a subtle way to make a bold statement.
