Horn beads are among those with the longest history throughout the ages. Hundreds of years ago, the horns of various animals were used to create objects to meet the everyday needs of people, for decorative as well as religious purposes. They made tools, jewelry, and carved some religious symbols on them.

For the production of beads for worry beads, horn from a type of cattle, the Asian yak, as well as horn from bulls and reindeer, is primarily used.

Horn beads are pleasant and durable in use; they do not shatter and can be found in brown color, as well as through a dyeing process with herbs, in burgundy, brown, cream, and black.
