Silver Bead Necklace For Sale on 1stDibs
You are likely to find exactly the silver bead necklace you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. Frequently made of Silver, Sterling Silver and Gold, this item was constructed with great care. You can easily find a 417 antique edition and 1319 modern creations to choose from as well. Making the right choice when shopping for a silver bead necklace may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 18th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century, both of which have proven very popular over the years. Finding an appealing silver bead necklace — no matter the origin — is easy, but Karen Sugarman Designs, Decadent Jewels and Gemjunky/M D Designs each produced a popular version that is worth a look. A silver bead necklace of any era or style can lend versatility to your look, but a version featuring Pearl, from our inventory of 600, is particularly popular. A bead version of this piece has appeal, but there are also round cut and mixed cut versions for sale. If you’re browsing our inventory for a silver bead necklace, you’ll find that many are available today for women, but there are still pieces to choose from for unisex and men.
How Much is a Silver Bead Necklace?
On average, a silver bead necklace at 1stDibs sells for $875, while they’re typically $50 on the low end and $125,000 for the highest priced versions of this item.
Finding the Right Beaded-necklaces for You
Whether they’re chunky, statement-making accessories or a single strand of the understated sort, antique and vintage beaded necklaces are versatile pieces of jewelry. Indeed, the unique beaded necklaces in your jewelry box likely go with everything, from casual summer tops and shorts to dazzling evening gowns.
From the fish-bone and seashell jewelry of the prehistoric era to the breathtaking amulets and pendants of ancient Egypt to modern sapphire beads, people have been accessorizing with beaded necklaces for eternity.
Beaded necklaces — as well as other kinds of necklaces — were common in prehistoric times. Personal adornment was important, and jewelry was made for every part of the body. Beadwork is among the best known art forms attributed to Native Americans, and just as they had for saddlery and clothing, early populations would fashion beads for necklaces with stone tools or instruments made of wood. The making of colorful glass beads for beaded necklaces likely originated in Venice, Italy, during the 14th century, particularly given the growth of the decorative glass industry on the series of Venetian islands called Murano. During the Neolithic period, humans were buried with coral beaded necklaces from the Mediterranean, even as far north as the Alps.
Whether you’re seeking the pop of color you’ll get in a double-row jade beaded necklace from the Art Deco era — which encompasses the 1920s and ’30s and ushered in a very distinct look in jewelry design — or perhaps a simple strand of pearls for a blouse that leaves your neck bare, remember that different necklines call for different pieces of jewelry.
When accessorizing with a beaded necklace, a long piece with a pendant will likely pair best with your favorite vintage V-neck dress or V-neck tee, while beaded chokers and collar necklaces are a stylish fit for strapless tops. Bigger beads will hit your neckline in a different way than a more minimalist necklace might, so you’ll want to keep that in mind. Choose colors you like and pick items that will go with what is in your closet. When the occasion calls for it, don’t be afraid to stack. “More is more” for some, so pairing a delicate strand with a bolder piece might be the move for you.
On 1stDibs, find a collection of pearl beaded necklaces, antique emerald beaded necklaces, diamond beaded necklaces and more.
Questions About Silver Bead Necklace
- What is a Samoan bead necklace?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023A Samoan bead necklace is a type of jewelry produced by the Indigenous people of Samoa, an island nation located in the Pacific Ocean. Also called ula, the necklace features natural materials like leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, shells and whale's teeth. Visitors arriving in Samoa are often presented with ula necklaces as a sign of welcome. Explore a variety of bead necklaces on 1stDibs.
- What do amber bead necklaces do?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Amber bead necklaces are believed to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. Amber is a fossilized tree resin that contains succinic acid. Many believe that when amber is heated against the body, it releases the acid onto the skin where it is absorbed, providing a boost to the body’s immune system. Find an assortment of amber bead necklaces on 1stDibs.
- Why do guys wear bead necklaces?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Why guys wear bead necklaces varies. Bead necklaces may represent a person's cultural heritage, as many artisans from Africa and North American Indigenous tribes produce intricate handmade bead necklaces. In addition, bead necklaces have become associated with certain fashion styles, including surfer and boho. Men may also wear bead necklaces because they like their appearance. Find a large selection of bead necklaces on 1stDibs.
- Are silver necklaces worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024Yes, many jewelry lovers believe that silver necklaces are worth it. Not only is silver a visually appealing material, but its qualities can make for durable, long-lasting pieces. Many well-known luxury brands, such as Tiffany Co. and Cartier, use silver to craft necklaces and other types of jewelry. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in silver necklaces is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find silver necklaces and other jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The best silver for a necklace is sterling silver; it is the best quality silver available in jewelry. 99.9% is the purest form of silver that you can get but it's too soft for jewelry production. Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. Globally, sterling silver is used as the standard for making silver necklaces. On 1stDibs, you can find an amazing selection of antique and vintage silver necklaces.
- Is a silver necklace worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024Many jewelry lovers believe that a silver necklace is worth it. Not only is silver's cool color visually appealing, but alloys that contain it, such as sterling silver, are resistant to scratching. Plus, sterling silver is often more economically priced than other precious metals. However, sterling silver can tarnish when exposed to salty air, chlorine and chemicals in household cleaning products, cosmetics and other products. Following the care and storage instructions the maker provides will be important for keeping your necklace looking like new. You can also explore alternatives to sterling silver, such as platinum, white gold and titanium. Find a diverse assortment of silver necklaces and other necklaces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024What the highest-quality silver necklace is depends on your definition of "high quality." If you mean the type that is the most pure, fine .999 silver is the answer. It is 99.9% pure silver, with the tiny remainder of its contents coming from trace elements. On the other hand, if you define quality by durability and longevity, .925 sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy metal, may be a better option. Fine .999 silver is soft and more reactive, making it more vulnerable to tarnishing and scratching than .925 sterling. Explore a diverse assortment of silver necklaces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023What a silver heart necklace means is up to interpretation. Some people associate silver heart necklaces with affection and love. Others consider the heart a religious symbol and believe it represents divine love. Others may choose to wear silver heart necklaces simply because they like their appearance. Explore a range of heart necklaces on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023Yes, some Vivienne Westwood necklaces are real silver. Specifically, the British fashion and jewelry designer's brand produces some necklaces out of sterling silver. In addition, some pieces are fashioned out of brass. Shop a variety of Vivienne Westwood jewelry from some of the world's top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024Yes, a sterling silver necklace may be worth something. Sterling silver can typically be sold for scrap based on the going rates for silver. How much you may receive for a necklace on the scrap market will usually be determined by weight. However, your necklace may have additional value based on its maker, age, style, condition and other factors, so you may wish to have a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler evaluate it. Shop a wide range of sterling silver necklaces on 1stDibs.
