Clay beads date as far back as 1000 BC in various regions across the world. In Africa, clay beads were used as trade beads in countries such as Ghana and Mali. More recently in the hippie era they were also known as ''Love Beads'. Clay beads were traditionally used in prayer strands as well as in amulets as jewelry.
