Colorful Beaded Necklaces Are Everywhere This Summer: Here Are The Ones Worth Buying

Necklaces are my thing. More than earrings, bracelets and rings, they are the piece of jewelry that I first think about adding to complete any outfit. Maybe it’s because I gravitate to very dainty small earrings that go with most outfits so I don’t swap them out often. I’m a writer and I often shirk wearing bracelets as I inevitably take them off when they feel uncomfortable when I am trying to type. But necklaces? Love ’em. They add that certain something to any outfit even if you’re in a white tee and cut off shorts or a dress headed out on a date-night dinner.

This summer I’ve noticed that beaded necklaces are everywhere. While I love the whole quiet luxury trend with those beige, blue, easy breezy linen outfits, woven bags and minimalist delicate jewelry… I also am loving a step away from that with fun, bright, beaded necklaces. It’s like adding instant personality to any outfit.

I have ADHD and am forever starting new hobbies and crafts only to abandon them and move on to the next bright and shiny idea soon after. I went through a period of making beaded bracelets and necklaces a year or so ago and now there is a drawer in my office full of my creations. So, I know I’m fully capable of making my own but there are so many darn cute beaded jewelry out there that is a heck of a lot easier than spending hours crafting it myself.

Here are a few of my favorites and the ones I think are worth buying. But before I link… my favorite brands to purchase from? BaubleBar, Ink + Alloy, Anthropologie, Gorjana, and Madewell. Without further ado…. here are my favs!

I could keep linking more, but in an effort not to overwhelm you, above are my top picks. I love to pair beaded necklaces with white tees, gingham dresses, summer style basics, and – well – pretty much anything and everything.

Just have fun with it. Necklaces are a good way to add a bit of your personality to any outfit and this summer, why not add that fun pop of color to compliment your gorgeous face!
