THE VARIOUS BEADS OF BEADED JEWELRY  

Beaded jewelry comes in all shapes and sizes—literally! Bold, delicate, playful, fierce— what do you want your style to say and look like? 

Choosing the right type of beaded accessories sets the tone, letting your style blossom the way you intend it to. 

In this bead style guide, we'll cover the types of beads currently trending in the fashion world. Once you gravitate toward these styles, you’ll be ready to accessorize with assertion!    

Statement Beads

Any accessory bold enough to be considered a “statement” has eye-catching features. With beads, they’re large, layered, colorful, or all of the above. 

Like the necklace below, layer upon layer of beads along the neckline demands focus on a gorgeous décolletage. 

Statement beads aren’t only for necklaces. Command attention with chunky beads, layers of beaded bracelets stacked up the wrist, a brooch-like collection of beads on a ring, or bold beaded clusters on earrings. 

Delicate Beads

Delicate and dainty beads are small and intricate. Rather than making a loud statement, these beads turn heads with a quiet assertion.

Dainty beads invite opportunities for subtle, everyday styles or standout moments by adding a pop of color to your wardrobe. 

Faceted Beads

“Faceted” means to have many sides. Faceted beads, when you look closely, aren’t smooth. They have multiple straight edges that form their rounded shape, creating a sparkling effect. 

The sides catch the light from all angles, giving the jewelry that glittery sparkle. Faceted beads can easily dress up your look or, at the very least, add a little shimmer!   

Seed Beads

Seed beads are tiny and uniformly shaped. They are often used as accents to other types of beads or to assemble striking assortments in various shapes, colors, and styles.

Seed beads collaborate into flower petals, free-flowing fringe on earrings, and form patterns with precision on bracelets and necklaces. 

Natural Beads

The material of the beads emits specific energies, too. Beads with natural materials like stone, wood, pearls, gems, and glass create earthy, vibrant, artisanal, or glamorous vibes, depending on the type of bead. 

Marbled stones, wood, and raw-cut beads inherently incorporate earthy, nature-inspired undertones into your look, while pearls (both classic and baroque) and smooth or faceted gemstone beads delve into luxurious and timeless styles. 

Monochromatic vs. Multi-Colored Beads

The color of beaded accessories has a lot of influence, too. Metallic, monochromatic beads dip into industrial chic, while bright multi-colored beads extend a playful feel. 

Each beaded jewelry piece has something to say, so listen in and let the beads do the talking when coordinating them with your outfit. 

HOW TO STYLE BEADED NECKLACES, EARRINGS, BRACELETS, AND RINGS 

Now, how do you style beaded accessories? Once you get the type of vibe they have, you’ll want to determine what your beaded necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or rings say with your outfit. 

Style that radiates everyday wear, like a solid-colored basic button-down with jeans or fun printed trousers, complemented by a bold beaded necklace, will make the colors in the clothing pop. 

Top the look off with a coordinating bracelet, a beaded bracelet stack, or a chunky cuff that has the same colors or metals as the necklace, and you’ll create an effortless, head-turning look.  

If you’re going for loud clothing, delicate beaded earrings and a simple ring or sleek bangles will let your outfit have the spotlight, while your accessories provide a strong supporting role.

Remember to pair jewelry pieces with the same colors, materials, or types of beads. Layered necklaces with colorful beads and silver accents go well with simple silver hoops and a silver ring, and can be dressed up or down with your wardrobe.  

Currently, the Paparazzi Shop is filled with beads that complement our Spring 2025 style trends. Like beads, each spring trend has its own energy to draw inspiration from when creating looks that stun.
