Silver beads
Beads have been used since time immemorial to decorate the naked shoulders and breasts of women. Traditional communities still use them as part of their traditional cultures while in modern societies women use them as part of their make up. Different items have been used ranging from natural to artificial in the manufacture of beads for purposes of beads. In traditional societies, certain seeds were treated and used for making beads which were then sawn into threads and worn around the neck. Beads also served such purposes as symbolism of passage rites. That is why they were worn by women in certain age groups.
Silver beads symbolize the entry of modernity in beads making and wearing. Today it can be said that silver beads epitomizes the practice and or culture of beads making and wearing. They are not the direct products of the traditional cultures though it is difficult to completely delineate them from the cultural practices.

Some are used at the tip of the chain while others form the main body. The different shapes can be used interchangeably to bring some pattern and reduce monotony. There are others which are used as spacers meaning that they can be used on narrow chains even if they have big holes as the spacers will stop them from falling off once spacers are fixed at the end of the chain. Spacer silver beads can also be used as boundaries between different types of beads. You can therefore mix various shapes to create more fascinating looks.
