# Blue Beads

## Visual Elements

Vertical rows of blue beads with red, white, and darker blue beads near the bottom.
## Cultural Context

Beaded earrings appear across numerous global cultures, from Native American seed bead traditions to West African waist bead practices to Central Asian nomadic jewelry. Blue beads in particular carry protective symbolism in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions, where the 'evil eye' bead (nazar) is worn to ward off misfortune.

<!-- justification
## Justification

Blue beads carry centuries of cross-cultural protective symbolism, and Mibera's ancestor system loves jewelry that connects global traditions to the collection's multicultural roots.
