Beaded necklaces are some of the most fascinating jewelry found in India, and their ages-long popularity can be seen from the fact that the Indian bead-making industry in the city of Cambay has continued to thrive since ancient times and till this day. These beaded necklaces have been found in many archaelogical sites of both India and places beyond.
The beads of these necklaces are made from a large variety of materials. Spices and plant stems are used to make up beads, as are animal parts, such as bones, corals, pearls, and even shells of snails. Organic substances aside, minerals such as carnelian, bloodstone, garnet, agate, glass, silver, and gold are also used as beads, and are cut, polished, shaped, and drilled by hand in order to be coverted to beads.
The beads of the necklace are strung together in many ways. They can be strung in strands to support a central pendant. They can alternate with other kinds of beads. Or they can simply be uniformly strung. (amethyst004)
