The adornment of beaded jewelry began more than 70,000 years ago. Back in the day, bead craftsman were expected to keep the bead-making skills a secret and in some cases risked their lives if they leaked valuable methods. Handcrafted beaded jewelry techniques vary across the globe and nearly all of these techniques are represented in Spivey's collection of beaded bracelets.
