“BEAD IT” IS the theme going into 2022. From styles resembling the “make love, not war” love beads of the late ‘60s to the more elegant styles from the ‘90s that combine gold stations or diamond and colored gemstone touches, beaded necklaces create a look of bohemian chic, particularly when layered or graduated with other necklaces and pendants. Most alluring is the return of lapis, malachite and turquoise with contrasting and unexpected details of precious stones or contrasting clasps.
