Beaded necklaces are basically small pieces of glass, stone, wood, or metal strung together on wire, cord, or strong thread to create a wearable chain. Instead of relying entirely on solid, cast metal links, they use those individual beads to build color blocks, intricate patterns, and unique textures.
You'll find them in almost every length and style, from a simple, single-strand choker resting tightly against the neck to long, multi-layered ropes that drape down the torso. Because the materials are so versatile, they're a great way to wear bold, colorful pieces that conform naturally to the shape of your collarbone.
