Antique-Style & Beaded Necklaces

How I Build These

Every piece here starts as a bunch of loose glass beads or seed beads and an antique-finish pendant. I string them by hand, focusing on getting the colour combinations just right—whether it is a vibrant multi-strand look for a festival or a subtle, monochrome beaded necklace for office wear.

Materials & Care

I use zinc alloy pendants with an antique gold or oxidised silver finish to give them that ethnic edge. The beads range from glossy glass crackle beads to lightweight seed beads, which keep the necklaces comfortable to wear for hours. Because these are handcrafted with thread and metal, keep them away from water and direct perfume sprays to prevent the metal from tarnishing or the thread from weakening.

Customisation

If you see a style you love but want it in a different colour to match your favourite dress or saree, just tell me. I frequently customise these necklaces for clients in Pune, adjusting the length, bead type, and pendant style. Whether you are dressing up for a wedding or just want something fun for a casual lunch, we can create something that fits your vibe.

Styling Ideas

• Ethnic Look: Pair the heavier antique-finish pendants with silk thread jhumkas for a complete festive set.
• Boho Chic: Layer multiple seed bead necklaces with a simple cotton kurta or top.
• Modern Twist: Use these necklaces as a focal point with a solid-coloured top to let the intricate beadwork stand out.
