Although the industrial revolution changed the way we value and look at beads, their prolific use still continues today in the same ways it has for thousands of years. Today, a single bead can be produced from plastic in a micro second for a fraction of a cent. Despite this fact, when embroidered together in the thousands by hand on a wedding dress they can increase the value of the dress exponentially, conveying the status, wealth, and individuality of the wearer just as they have in the past. How could we ever live without our accessories and ornamentation? It's the little things in life that sometimes give us the most pleasure and defining character. We as humans, from the earliest times, have considered the adornment of our person to be one of the necessities of life - as essential as food and shelter.
