bead
//biːd//
Translation
bead
Definition
A bead is a small, often round object made of glass, plastic, wood, or metal, with a hole through the center so it can be threaded onto a string or wire. Beads are commonly used in jewelry making, such as necklaces and bracelets, as well as in decorative crafts and embroidery. They come in various colors, sizes, and shapes, and can be plain or intricately designed. This term typically refers to the decorative or functional item, not to other meanings like a drop of liquid.
