Bead making has become a very
profitable venture in our society today. If you have taken your time to look
around, especially on wedding, burial or naming ceremonies, you will notice
different designs of beads especially on the ladies. The beads come in
different colours, shapes and sizes. Beads are usually worn for beautification
and fashion purposes especially by ladies. Some beads are even worn for ritual
purposes by some traditionalist.
Bead making in the last decade
has experienced a market boom because of the paradigm shift in fashion style
amongst the ladies. Beads have gradually replaced gold and silver necklaces and
bangles, and more and more designs are created almost on a daily basis.
TYPES OF BEADS
Beads could be traditional
beads, cooperate beads or casual beads.
Traditional beads are those
beads worn in traditional ceremonies like traditional weddings, burial
ceremonies, village meetings and traditional festivals.
Cooperate Beads are those
beads that can be worn to offices. They are usually very simple with mild
colours.
