Since the earliest days of mankind, bones of various animals have been processed into bone beads and other jewellery.

For our bone beads many different manual operations are used. Bone beads can be worked by mechanical processing such as turning, milling, carving and grinding or by thermal treatment such as burning and steaming and even polished to a shine. Like ivory, beads made of white bone can take on a slightly yellowish colour after a few years.
