bones...! natural and artificial

Bone is a form of hard tissue that forms the skeleton of the body in vertebrate animals. Beads made of bones are extracted from the bones of animal (after their natural death). Usually whitish in color, bones are given different shapes, sizes, designs for a artistic look. Various colors are polished and painted on its surface and are carved by craftsman or by machines to make it a splendid bone bead. Most modern bone beads are made from buffalo or sheep or cow or camel bones. Horn beads are made from buffalo or sheep or cow horns. But still bones of other animals are also used to make them. Accessories made from the bones, skins of certain animals are still restricted and illegal as per rules of government of certain countries. It is inhuman nature of those people killing animals for the sake of their body parts and to make a part of money for it.

Bone beads are mainly used in jewelries as a pendant, lockets, bracelets and necklaces. Bone bead is drilled through the center to form a hole where the string can pass through. Artificial bones (looks similar to natural animal bones) are also used these days for making bone beads. Artificial bones are usually cheaper than natural bones and are machine made. Desired colors and designs can be added to artificial bones easily. Using artificial bones for making beads and accessories is always good and better as people won't be killing animals for their parts, since we love living beings.
