What types of beaded necklaces are popular?

Sellers on Etsy have a fabulous array of beaded necklace options waiting to be discovered. Beaded necklaces come in every necklace design under the sun. Here are some of the popular types you’ll find on Etsy: Choker beaded necklace : A beaded choker sits just above the collarbone or high on the neck and usually measures 12 to 14 inches long. Layered beaded necklace : These necklaces have multiple strands of beads that fasten in the back with one closure. Graduated beaded necklace : These necklaces have varying sizes of beads, with the largest beads usually front and center with gradually smaller beads toward the back. Lariat beaded necklace : This type of necklace features a long design you can tie in a knot or pull through a ring to create a “Y” shape. Seed-bead necklace : Tiny beads, called seed beads, are typically woven into a band, often to make a choker. You’ll also find delicate single strand styles and fringe necklaces made of seed beads.

What materials are beaded necklaces made of?

Beaded necklaces are available in many different materials, each with its own look and feel. Wooden bead necklaces : Wood is a popular material for beaded necklaces, adding a natural and rustic feel to any outfit. These beads can be polished, painted, or left in their natural state, and come in a range of shapes and sizes. Glass bead necklaces : Glass beads are a versatile material available in a wide selection of colors, finishes, and shapes. These beads can be smooth or faceted, giving the necklace some shine. Stone bead necklaces : Stone beads create a natural, earthy feel to necklaces. These beads come in various shapes and sizes and can add texture and interest to the necklace. Pearl-bead necklaces : Pearls are a classic and timeless material for necklaces, presenting an elegant and sophisticated look. They come in many different colors and sizes, from delicate seed pearls to larger baroque pearls.

What do beaded necklaces symbolize?

Beads and beaded necklaces have held different meanings and symbolism in various cultures. In some traditions, people wear a beaded necklace as a symbol of good luck. In others, they are used to represent social status, wealth, or cultural identity. For fashion purposes, they’re worn as a showcase of personal style and are a favorite among the featured jewelry shops on Etsy. Ultimately, the symbolism of a beaded necklace is up to the individual.

What are good ways to style beaded necklaces?

Both women's and men's beaded necklaces have many great style possibilities. For example, you can keep it simple with a single strand of beads in a neutral color such as black, brown, or gray. Or try layering multiple beaded necklaces of varying lengths and styles for a more bohemian or eclectic look. You can wear a beaded choker necklace to accessorize a V-neck, scoop neck, or collared shirt. Alternatively, a long beaded necklace looks great over a turtleneck. For contrasting layers, try pairing a longer necklace with a choker. Whether you are going for a dressy or casual look, beaded necklaces are great to add pop to your wardrobe.

4 out of 5 stars

"The necklace came in the mail very quickly and I was able to track it. It is very very cute. I’ve been wearing it for over a week, just taking it off to shower, and I have noticed that some of the color on some of the beads has rubbed off. I also noticed the clasp color has changed from gold to silver. Not a huge deal to me but just something to keep in mind if your looking at this item! Overall for the price I would purchase again."
