Beaded Rose Multi-Strand Necklace

Beads have always been an important part of trade and commerce for the tribes of North America. The oldest beads were made of natural materials like bone, shell, and stone. Europeans and Asians introduced glass beads to the western world as early as 1519. Glass quickly became popular due to the low cost, availability and variety of color.
