Heishi Bone Beads have a long and fascinating history in jewelry making. The word "heishi" comes from the Keresan language of the Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico, where the technique of making these beads originated. Originally, heishi beads were made from shell, stone, and other natural materials, and were used in Native American jewelry for centuries. Today, the technique has been adapted to include other materials like bone, making these beads a versatile and unique option for modern jewelry designers. The tribal X dots on these particular heishi bone beads add a touch of traditional style, while the black-brown and white color scheme makes them a great neutral accent for any jewelry design.
