Real gemstone beaded necklaces, hand-strung in our Chester studio. Choose your stone, then your length at checkout — 14" choker, 16" princess or 18" matinée, each with a 2" extender — in Sterling Silver, 14K Gold Filled or Rose Gold Filled.
What makes a beaded necklace different
A beaded necklace is a whole strand of stone rather than a single pendant. Every piece in this collection is hand-strung in our Chester studio, bead by bead, onto a strand finished with a lobster clasp and a 2" extender chain. The beads are diamond-cut and sized to the stone, so the strand catches light along its full length rather than from one focal point, and most designs carry scattered 2mm metal spacer beads to give the colour room to breathe.
That makes it a different piece from our two sister ranges. If you want a single unpolished stone with its own natural shape, see the Raw Crystal Necklaces. If you want one gemstone set at the centre of a pendant, see the Gemstone Sun Necklaces. A beaded strand is the one that layers most easily and reads as jewellery first, crystal second.
Browse by birthstone
Most of the strands here are real birthstones. Choose by the month that means most to you, or to the person you are buying for — and if you are not sure which stone belongs to which month, our complete birthstones guide sets them all out.

Sizing and finishes
Choose your length at checkout. Every strand comes in the same three sizes, each with a 2" extender chain so you can fine-tune the fit:
- 14" choker — extends to 16", sits softly at the base of the neck
- 16" princess — extends to 18", sits at the collarbone, our most popular adult length
- 18" matinée — extends to 20", sits just below the collarbone and layers beautifully over a shorter strand
Most customers choose 16". Custom lengths are available on request — just send us a message before ordering. If you are between sizes, our necklace length guide explains how each one sits, and how to layer necklaces covers wearing two or three together.
Three finishes across the collection: Sterling Silver, 14K Gold Filled and Rose Gold Filled. The metal covers the spacer beads, the lobster clasp and the extender chain — the stones themselves are always the natural gemstone named in the product title.
Care
Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume and lotions to preserve the finish and the stone's natural lustre. Remove before showering, swimming or sleeping — a strand caught on bedding is the most common cause of damage. Wipe with a soft dry cloth and store in your Abiza box when not worn.
Packaging and gifting
Every necklace is hand-strung and quality-checked in our Chester studio, then presented in our signature Abiza gift box with a crystal information card explaining that stone's properties — ready to give, no extra wrapping needed. A gift card is available as an add-on at checkout.
