A bead is a small, decorative object that is pierced for threading or stringing. As an alternative to piercing, plastic beads may be Moulded Onto a Thread during manufacturing; these MOT beads are often used for the throw necklaces worn at Mardi Gras. Beads range in size from under a millimeter to over a centimeter in diameter. Glass, plastic, and stone are probably the most common materials, but beads are also made from bone, horn, ivory, metal, shell, pearl, coral, gemstones, polymer clay, metal clay, resin, synthetic minerals, wood, ceramic, fiber, paper, and the seeds of the Bead tree. A pair of beads made from Nassarius shells that are approximately 100,000 years old are thought to be the first known examples of jewellery.
Beadwork is the craft of making things with beads. Beads can be woven together with specialized thread, or adhered to a surface (e.g. fabric, clay).
Types of decorative beads include:
- Chevron beads
- Cloisonné beads
- Dichroic beads
- Ethnic beads
- Faux natural beads
- Fire-polished beads
- Furnace glass beads
- Fused glass beads
- Lampwork beads
- Lead crystal beads
- Millefiori beads
- Pressed glass beads
- Seed beads
- Trade beads or Slave beads
