Shells, you find them on any beach, carbonated lime in one of its natural forms but long ago man's instincts told him they could be something more. It takes both talent and labour to turn a common s ashell into an ornamental bead. The Aldonquan Indians of North America put much value on that effort and used their beads as money- wampum. Beads found their way into complex forms of art which themselves became a form of currency. Beads could also communicate ideas, arranged with other materials they could form a kind of code signalling a council meeting or announcing a betrothal. Beads made into jewelry often played an important role in the religious life of an Indian tribe. An object of art usually expresses someone's innermost feelings. Each ornament had an important spiritual meaning but it also reflected a specific craftsman's personality. Times have changed. Short instructional videotape on modern jewelry making techniques.
