Zulu beads have been historically used by the Zulu people to convey messages through their arrangement of colors and patterns. Women often created beaded pieces to communicate their emotions, intentions, or relationships with others, including expressions of love and affection. These patterns were known to carry significant meaning, often referred to as "ucu," which symbolized communication.
Each color in Zulu beadwork traditionally holds specific meanings. For example:
White: Purity or love
Black: Heartache or despair
Blue: Loyalty or longing
Red: Intense love or passion
Green: Contentment or calmness
Yellow: Wealth or prosperity
