There is a very concrete reason why so many earrings are made with beads. This is because beads are particularly beautiful, especially when they’re illuminated with natural light. This is precisely why so many of these earrings are drop earrings, which can be exposed if the wearer has short hair or long hair that’s tied back in a ponytail or bun. When these earrings dangle down, they often take on even greater hues and colors than they would otherwise.

Because they take on these additional characteristics with the addition of light, beaded earrings usually utilize beads made out of natural gems such as agate or quartz. As semi-translucent stones, the earrings can end up looking entirely different between night and day. Knowing that, make sure that the earrings still coordinate with your outfit. If they look brownish when exposed to light, pair them with tan khakis and an earth toned tunic top. If they look noticeably darker by night, match them with your sassy little black dress and stiletto sandals.

When you purchase a necklace, there’s nothing more important than the length of that necklace. If it doesn’t fall in a convenient place, the beauty and aesthetic of the necklace can be completely destroyed. After all, if it’s too long, it can often slip underneath the neckline of a shirt, and this completely obscures the pendant itself. If it’s too short, it can be uncomfortable, and this often means the wearer will eventually discard the necklace.

This is why so many people turn to beaded necklaces. These can usually be adjusted with a few simple jewelry tools and a little bit of know how. If it’s too long, simply remove a small section of the beads from the strand and re-adhere the jump rings. If you want to make these kinds of at-home jewelry adjustments, all you’ll need is a pair of needle nose pliers and the confidence that you won’t irreparably break the necklace!
