Description

MONG THE VARIOUS adornments worn by the Celts were beads. Examples dating from the earliest times have been found throughout Europe, Britain and Ireland. Some of the finest of these have been unearthed in burial mounds and chambers constructed for high-ranking Celtic chiefs and their followers.

These beads vary from the plain to the highly decorated, and they have been found made from gold, silver, electrom, stone, black jet, bone, amber and, occasionally, semi-precious stones. It is quite possible that the Celts were influenced in the making of beads by the ancient Egyptians, who were highly skilled at bead-making and used lapis lazuli, carnelian and jade in their highly polished necklaces.

Today carved Celtic beads are being ingeniously created in south Wales by Annie Wealleans, alias The Black Dragon of Black Dragon Crafts.
