A silver necklace is a necklace made with sterling or fine silver, either as the chain itself or as the findings and accents that hold beads and gemstones together. The Handmade Silver Necklace Collection is John S. Brana's range of beaded gemstone necklaces finished in silver, each assembled by hand in his San Francisco studio.

What Is a Beaded Silver Gemstone Necklace?
A beaded silver gemstone necklace is a strand of natural stones, pearls or shell strung together and finished with silver beads, spacers and a clasp. The silver brightens the colours between the stones and gives the strand a precious-metal finish. Because each strand is assembled bead by bead, no two necklaces are exactly the same.
What Is the Difference Between Fine Silver and Sterling Silver?
Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver. It is soft, very white and slow to tarnish. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver with a small amount of other metal for strength, which makes it tougher but quicker to darken. Two of the necklaces in this collection are listed with fine silver.

Why Choose a Handmade Beaded Necklace?
- One of a kind – natural stones vary, so every strand looks slightly different
- Colour with a precious finish – silver accents lift the stones without competing with them
- Statement without a pendant – the whole strand carries the design, so it suits plain necklines
- Made to last – each strand is strung and finished by hand in San Francisco
How to Care for a Beaded Silver Necklace
- Put it on last, after perfume, lotion and hairspray, which can dull stones and pearls
- Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wearing
- Avoid water, ultrasonic cleaners and jewellery dips, which can weaken the stringing
- Store it flat in its gift box so the strand does not stretch
Who This Collection Suits
This collection suits anyone who wants a colourful statement necklace with a silver finish, brides and wedding guests looking for pearls, December birthday gift buyers, and collectors of one-of-a-kind beaded pieces.
