Here is our selection of Cinco De Mayo beads.
They are mostly green, white, and red in accordance with the Mexican flag.
However there are many different shapes sizes and varieties to choose from.
Specifically, handstrung or Throw beads? Handstrung are usually a bit more
expensive. However, if you are planning on looking a bit more unique or looking
for something particular, that may be the section for you. For those of you
looking for creative ideas, try mixing single tone necklaces of green, white,
and red. Layering these colorful strands will not only allow you to appear more
festive, but it will also save money, especially if your purchases are for
parties, or parades. Symbols of the Mexican culture and heritage can be found
on the more detailed handstrung beads. Cinco De Mayo accessories can also be
purchased via Toomey's. If you are having a party or attending one, you can
find an assortment of supplies, and gifts to fit your needs.
Typically beads are not worn in celebration for Cinco De Mayo, which is a
tradition celebrating the victory of the battle of Puebla, a small village
defending Mexican territory against the French invasion in 1862. Even though
Cinco De Mayo is a Mexican holiday it's primarily celebrated in the state of
Puebla, and here in The United States. The practice of wearing beads is usually
reserved for the ever popular Mardi Gras. Where people can be seen trading different
sets, and tossing them from parade floats. Yet the trend is growing with the
different designs being produced for different holidays. Toomey's also have
categories for St. Patrick’s Day, Christmas, Easter, Halloween and New years.
Not to mention events such as baby showers, and bachelorette parties.
