Wood and stone/coral beads are usually hand carved (the good ones at least), but are heading towards manufacturing. Stone beads are gorgeous; some are precision cut and tumbled,then a hole is drilled into them. Glass beads are blown, just like a vase or a glass bowl. Native Americans got quite a few from trading, some made from horn/hoof/wood. I'm guessing that if you googled ethnic jewelry/beadmaking, you'd get quite a few hits.<br><b>References : </b><br>needleworker and antiquities junkie How they are made depends on the materials they were made from.
