TRINKET (Abalorio)

The Sanskrit word veluriya became Greek as bḗryllos , which became classical Arabic as billawr . This term, in turn, derived from the Hispanic Arabic alballúri , which refers to something made of glass. After this etymological journey, we come to the concept of a bead.

It is called a bead, it is an ornament of little value but that is very attractive . By extension, a trinket is something ornamental , either physical or symbolic, especially when it is exaggerated . For example: “I like minimalist environments, without beads” , “The actress is usually photographed next to the beads in her living room” , “Little by little, the writer moved away from the excessive adjectives and adopted a style with few beads, a lot more neat and direct ”.

Also known as a bead is the account that, having a hole, can be strung with others. Also known as beads , beads can be made with different materials and have all kinds of designs.

With beads bracelets and necklaces can be made , to mention two possibilities. The use of these elements dates back a long time , as there are records of their use in the ancient Egyptians, the Aztecs, the Mongols and other peoples.

It is common for beads to be used for the production of bijouterie ( costume jewelery ). Since jewelry is made from materials that are not precious or jewelery , the beads used in this area are usually not very expensive.

"The Bead Game" , finally, is the title in Castilian of a novel by Hermann Hesse. The German writer published this book in 1943.
