The history of bead embroidery

Posted by Irina Giorbelidze on

The art of beaded embroidery has a long history and originated in Ancient Egypt. It gained popularity with the development of the art of glassmaking. Gradually, durable glass beads of various colors replaced pearls and precious stones in luxurious sewing. Glass beads were more affordable, and their patterns were not inferior in beauty to those made of pearls or amber. They also shone and shimmered, offering a wide array of colors and shades.

The technique of embroidery with beads also developed gradually and was passed down from generation to generation by skilled craftswomen. Different countries had their own techniques and methods of using bead embroidery. Embroidery artisans were renowned for their skill and respected in society.

Today, this type of embroidery is regaining popularity. Beaded patterns can be used to decorate clothing and accessories, but the embroidery of pictures is especially appreciated by embroidery enthusiasts. This enjoyable work has won the hearts of many craftswomen. It is worth trying at least once to experience how enjoyable and soothing it can be.
