Japan is the center of the pearl industry and, while it lacks the tradition of the European bead trade, creates fine lampwork. Japanese mass-produced beads include fine quality decorated lampwork, plastic beads in many colors and finishes and decals in the Venetian style. Japan invented the commercial cultured pearl in the early 20th century and now produces 70% of the world's supply. Japan also exports coral, top quality porcelain, highly-sculpted ojime beads, rocailles and seed beads. India imported European beads in earlier centuries, but now produces vast amounts of well-executed beads in metal, especially low quality silver, lampwork and wound glass, and wood for a fraction of the cost of Venetian and Czech beads. India's natural supplies of semiprecious stones, such as quartz, have been highly valued and traded for centuries. Little is known of the production of mosaic glass before the 14th century. At the same time, the germanic glasshouses continued their tradition of enameled and cold-painted glass. Glassmaking was the first manufacture undertaken in america, with a glasshouse built at jamestown, virginia, in 1608. This will probably remain in my personal collection for a while longer. Beaded jewelry plays a great part in Indian life, either worn in precious materials or cheap imitations.
