bead necklace

Threaded ornamental strand

A bead necklace is a piece of jewelry made by stringing beads on a cord or chain, worn around the neck.

Beads may be glass, wood, stone, plastic, or precious materials like pearls.

The term is straightforward—a necklace composed of beads rather than links or pendants: She wore a simple bead necklace with her sundress.
