Centuries ago, beads was strictly an exclusive right of royalties and the blue blood. Presently it is entirely a new song as beads are one of the fashion statements of our time and a major feature at events and social functions.

Beads come in varying beautiful colours and now adorn the necks, wrist and ankles of most women. Gradually beads are stealing the place of gold and other precious jewelry.

Apart from the fact that beads are more affordable, it has a beauty which excitingly display designs and colours. Like every fashion item beads appear to have evolved over the years to become the masterpiece they now are, and have also refused to go out of style.

Beads can be used as adornment and embellishments on bags, shoes and clothes. Depending on individual taste and budget, there is a wide range of different beads to choose from.

The most favoured types available in the Nigerian market are the Real Coral Jasper, Crystal Gold Beads, Tiger Eye, Moonstone, Opal Obsidian, Onyx, Black coral, Aquamarine, Topaz, Emerald, Fresh water pearls, Ruby etc.

At present, Nigeria can boast of creative stringers like Gems of Nubia, Eveechi beads, Yemisi, jodi and a host of others whose works are simply galvanizing.
