1. Well in the school I go to there is a gang and depending on the color of beads that they are wearing and where they are positioned it displays what gang they are fighting and where they are fighting them!!
2. Generally beads are beads, but if for example you mean those carried by Buddhist's then often there are 108 beads for the number of worldly desires, or 8 beads for the eightfold path, or 6 for the six perfections etc.
3. Beads can have a multitude of meaning depending on the person wearing them, what they bought them for, to some people especially the ancients everything in their universe had a reason for being wearing torquoise stones for the native Americans had enormous bearing on the wellbeing and it still does today. the Aboriginal people in Australia wore seed beads which had to do with their songlines. without their songlines they would not have survived for 120 000 + years.if you are interesred there is a site on the web about gemstones meanings www.sobrietystones.com
