A beaded chain is a jewelry making technique where beads are strung together on a wire or thread to create a chain. Beaded chains can be made from a variety of materials, including glass, wood, metal, and plastic. The type of bead and the size of the beads will determine the overall look of the finished chain. Beaded chains can be used to make necklaces, bracelets, and even earrings.

A beaded chain can offer a few advantages over a regular metal chain when it comes to necklaces. For one, depending on the beads used, a beaded chain can have more personality and style than a metal chain. Beaded chains can also be less expensive than metal chains. They can be lighter in weight as well, which may be important for some people who don’t want a heavy necklace.

You can make your own beaded chain with just a few materials. All you need is some wire, beads, and pliers. First, cut a piece of wire to the desired length. Then, string the beads onto the wire. Once all the beads are on, use the pliers to twist the two ends of the wire together. That's it! You now have your very own beaded chain.
