Why be a plain Jane when you can spice things up with a unique handmade piece of jewelry? It doesn't have to be anything extravagant, either - a few simple small beads strung together make for an interesting look. Then again if you really want to be noticed you can opt for big honking nuggets of gemstones like turquoise and crystal combined with handmade Bali silver beads.
A double strand bead necklace is a nice compliment to any outfit that can be bought reasonably. If you like a vintage look there are tons of choices - from those neat old Japan necklaces from the 50's with colorful beads, to rhinestones to chains necklaces with simple embellishments - you can't go wrong if you buy vintage as the value is bound to go up!

But if you prefer a sleek modern look, a double strand bead necklace that is handmade by an artisan using gemstones and sterling silver might be the thing for you. I have made several using turquoise beads and fetish beads as well as combining a multitude of other interesting new and vintage beds for a unique look. Buying artisan jewelry is fun because you know that each piece is handmade and many times a unique one of a kind item!
A double strand bead necklace can come in many lengths too. It could be choker length and sit tight up against your neck which is a great look for boat neck, v neck, and off the shoulder tops. It can be princess length and sit right at the hollow of your throat. Matinee length is about 22" - hanging about halfway down the chest and can go with almost anything. Opera length is 30" - just below the chest and goes great with turtlenecks or fitted tops without collars. The length you decide should be dictated by the outfit you are wearing.
