When trade beads were introduced to Native Americans, they made these colorful glass beads part of their jewelry.  Over the years, glass beads have been used to complement traditional designs and to adorn everything from clothing to ceremonial objects.  Artists from the Navajo Reservation in the Four Corners Area, bead a variety of items, such as bracelets, key rings, barrettes, rattles, earrings, and much more.  With beautiful designs and brilliant colors, Native American beadwork is appreciated by collectors worldwide.
