What Are Heishi Beads and Their Cultural Origins?
Heishi bead is a small, disc-shaped bead made from natural materials such as stone, shell, or bone. It was first made by artisans of the Santo Domingo Pueblo of New Mexico. Heishi Bead is a term that literally means "shell beads." Today, however, Heishi Bead pieces show great historical and artistic value. In olden times, when they were first created, expert bead makers hand-turned and polished every bead and strung them together to depict tribal culture and honor events, and even used them as currency. The classic look of the Heishi Bead originates in the Southwestern part of the United States but has also traveled much further.
