Metal Beads

Native Americans originally made beads from copper that they mined. When Europeans brought brass, nickel and silver beads to the Americas, Native crafters added them to their bandoleers, breastplates and chokers.  They often used Brass beads for both decorative and symbolic purposes. Crafters incorporated these beads into jewelry, clothing, and ceremonial items. They added a metallic shine and durability to designs, making them popular for necklaces, chokers, and breastplates. Brass beads were also used in trade and were valued for their aesthetic appeal and versatility. Over time, they became a significant part of Native American craftsmanship, blending traditional artistry with materials introduced through trade.
