For nearly two centuries white men who have traded with the Indians
of the Eastern Woodlands and the Great Plains have referred to a
tubular bead measuring 1 to 2 and 1⁄2 inches or more in
length which they carried in stock by the name of "hair pipe."
The origin of the name is obscure. Certainly the name itself fails
to suggest the variety of ways in which Indians employed these long
beads as articles of personal adornment. Nor should the application
of this name to articles made by Whites for trade to Indians identify
this form of ornament as a white man's invention. It appears more
probable that the trade hair pipe was a white man's substitute for
a type of long, cylindrical ornament which had its origin in prehistoric
Indian culture.

A true status symbol, bone breastplates were in wide use as a type
of armor by the early 19th Century. Today they are part of many
ceremonial events. Long, hollow hair pipe dates far earlier than
the pre-Columbian period for Indian ornamental dress. Its popularity
grew from Eastern tribes use of shells, bone and stone. Eventually
Colonial traders introduced glass and copper to necklace design
in the 17th and 18th Centuries.
