Beaded necklaces come in various types, shapes, and designs, including glass and plastic beads. They can be dressed up or down and are easy to make with a beading kit. They are versatile and a great addition to any accessory collection.
Beaded jewelry is a great way to dress up a casual outfit or make a dressy outfit even more special. Beaded necklaces in particular are great pieces to wear and are often very versatile. There are a few different types of bead necklaces.
Beaded necklaces often feature a simple string of beads with no additional embellishment. A pearl necklace is an example of this, although pearls can sometimes be combined with other beads to create a more visually interesting necklace. In addition to simply finding beads on a beaded necklace, other items such as charms, pendants, crystals, or gemstones can be added. Necklaces also vary in shape: they can be short, like a choker, or a longer string of beads. Lariat designs are also popular.
Glass beads are often used when making beaded necklaces because they are relatively strong and visually appealing. The glass beads will sparkle in the light, making them very eye-catching. A necklace can be made of glass beads of a single color, glass beads of different colors but in the same color family, or all different colors and shapes of beads. The beauty of glass beads is that they tend to work well together and complement other colors; a multicolored glass bead necklace will look good with almost any outfit.
Plastic beads can also be used to create beaded necklaces, as they are lighter and cheaper. Plastic beads will usually be mixed with other, higher quality beads such as glass or stone; you will rarely see an entire necklace made of plastic beads, except for children’s ones. Plastic beads are also used as spacers, to create a gap between the larger beads, and as end beads attached to the end of the thread to prevent the other beads from falling off.
Children’s beading kits usually contain plastic beads, which is a good way for children to learn how to create beaded necklaces. It’s not hard to create beaded necklaces—a trip to the craft store will outfit you with everything you need. This includes beading thread or beading wire, which is designed to be strong enough to hold heavy beads; clasps crimp the beads to place them at the end of the thread and spacers to place in the middle; crimper; a needle to thread the beads; and of course the accounts you choose. Then you just need to string the beads and attach the clasp for a beautiful and unique necklace.
Beaded necklaces are great pieces to add to your accessory collection because they are so versatile and the possibilities are virtually limitless. They are available in any size, color, style, length, or design you can imagine and can be dressy or casual. A few different types of beaded jewelry in your collection will become some of your favorite pieces.
