Masterpieces of beaded art are created when you make a bead necklace. Here is a list of our beaded necklace projects.Humans have been wearing adornments around the neck for thousands of years. Beaded necklaces can be found in the ruins of all ancient cultures and women still love wearing them today.
I love the trends with all of the colors and types of beads emerging. It's as if anything goes: mod, vintage, steam punk - your style can change daily! Here I have listed my beaded necklace designs and patterns. Enjoy!

I really like how this wire wrapped piece came out. Picture jasper is one of my favorite stones and with the goldtone wire it looks great. Plus, I made double beaded wraps, which I have not seen before and think it *may* be a first.

Learn to wire wrap this necklace for Saint Patrick's Day. The entire set can be wrapped with the basic wire wrapping tools and with or without a jig. I used 20 gauge copper wire for this project. I love the cooper and the green together for this festive holiday piece.

I decided to work a little with gold recently in my jewelry making collection. I enjoy using jumprings for jewelry so I combined the two and made these Golden Roses pieces using gold filled wire, vintage coin beads and big grossularite garnet beads. See the other wire wrapped pieces here: Golden Roses Beaded Earrings and Golden Roses Beaded Bracelet.

These beads are very nice and affordable, since they are imitation cinnabar from Fire Mountain Gems. I matched them up with black onyx rounds and gold chain for this piece. I love this necklace, it is as fun as it looks and goes with your office attire or a night out with friends.

I received this focal bead from a friend, it is a different cut with some long facets and some short. It has a lot of style and I didn't want to take away from that. So I beaded it up on a memory wire and made this simple focal choker. If you have a focal or a pendant that you would like to wear but you're unsure of how to bead it up, try this.

This is a beautiful multi-strand pearl necklace. Great look for the office or for a night out on the town. The brown faceted shell beads work well with today's trendy colors and with the classic colors of fall. Instructions for the matching earrings are here.

Beaded earring and necklace set in a chain with gorgeous blue beads that I had in my bead box. I used enough pearls to bring the piece together and then used a mix of blue all over for a trendy and fun look. I made this beaded necklace long for a cowl neck sweater I have, but you can shorten it.

Here kitty, kitty, kitty. Please don't cross my path! LOL, this is a really cool piece for those looking to wear Halloween jewelry. The black beads had a goldtone to the faces, therefore, I used gold chain with them. You can choose what best suits your beads.

I purchased this lot of glass Halloween lampwork beads at ebay, really cool stuff you can get there. I decided to make a lariat with them and leftover 4-6mm beads with size 11 seed beads that I had in my stash. Hence, you have my Boo Crew bead necklace.
