The length of time it took to make Egyptian jewelry varied depending on the complexity and intricacy of the piece. Some simpler pieces may have taken only a few hours, while more elaborate and detailed pieces could have taken several days or even weeks to complete. Skilled craftsmen and artisans employed techniques such as casting, soldering, stone-setting, and beadwork to create the beautiful and ornate jewelry that ancient Egyptians were known for.
It is not possible to give a single description of a "native American bead" because so many different types were made by the natives themselves or obtained in trade.Pre-contact beads were manufactured from many types of shell, from bird bones, from animal bones, from dried berries, from stones and even from copper.After contact with Europeans glass beads were traded to most tribes; at first these were fairly large "pony beads", but later smaller "seed beads" became popular. Beadwork can often be approximately dated by the size and colours of glass beads used.If you are interested in the subject I would recommend a book entitled "Beads and Beadwork of the American Indians" by William C Orchard, which details all the many types of beads used by native Americans.
the blackfoot made beautiful beadwork/quillwork and baskets which is still shown in airports and museums in Alberta all the way down to Montana. the blackfoot were also apt in designing medicine Shields which were true works of art. samples can be seen in the bestseller, SEVEN ARROWS. like other plains and nomadic nations, the blackfoot had their art on everyday clothing, housing and tools as they had to carry their items with them, their art was mixed into their daily lives.
The idea the each tribe had its own special sign decorating their clothing is completely false; in many cases a tribe or sub-tribe would favour a particular style of decoration or beadwork, but this was never unique to that tribe. The Ioways favoured diamond-shaped feather designs in their beadwork (also used by the Sioux); when blue, red and green cloth strouding became available they developed the technique of "reverse designs" on leggings and moccasins, often cutting out a design pattern in red cloth and stitching it over a piece of blue. By keeping the waste material from the red and stitching it to a contrasting colour backing, a reverse pattern was created. The same idea was used by Osages and Otoes, among others.

Plains women often use intricate beadwork to decorate ceremonial clothing. These beadwork designs can convey cultural and personal significance, representing stories, symbols, or values important to the wearer. The use of specific colors, patterns, and materials in the beadwork can also hold specific meanings within the community.

All sewing was originally done with animal sinew threads. Sinew was taken from the tendons found in the legs or alongside the spine of deer, buffalo or other large mammals and pounded to break up the fibres into individual fine threads. These needed no needle. There were no "purses" since there was no money, but all clothing, moccasins, headdresses, beadwork, quillwork and various pouches would all be sewn with sinew threads.
