BEADS


   A bead is a decorative object normally worn as earrings, bangles, necklaces etc. It has been known to have existed right from the beginning of time according to most ancestral stories and scientific discoveries. 
  Beads can be gotten from naturally occurring materials  which could be inorganic or organic in nature. Examples of natural organic materials include bones, coral, wood, animal shell etc. Pearls used to be the best because of its scarcity but with the emergence of modern science, scientific techniques have been used to design them. The natural inorganic materials include metals and stones. According to history, the oldest surviving synthetic materials used were ceramics. Glass are also used for bead-making with their own specific names.
  Traditionally, kings, queens and important personalities in ceremonies are usually highly braided with beads of a variety of colors. This is also common in traditional marriages especially with the people from the eastern part of Nigeria. Young men and women nowadays are fond of using beads as ornaments. Get a bead today and look handsome/beautiful(*wink*). Have a blessed weekend.
