Costume Bead Spacers and Pink Necklaces
Bead spacers are special beads that can be placed within bead sequences in bead string necklaces to offset and highlight certain beads, to create visual space between groupings of beads, or to secure beads in their intended position on the necklace. These unique beads and their stylish placement lend a creative and varied look to otherwise plain strings of beads, allowing the necklaces to sparkle and reflect the wearer’s personal touch.
Made of many different compositions, these spacers are available made of metal, as pearls, designed from woods, and can be made to suit any taste. The beads are often larger than the beads around them, and can be worn in contrasting colors or textures to make the necklace or jewelry stand out more than it would otherwise.
These innovative costume jewelry additions have graced the bead necklaces of numerous women; their use dates back to the 1800’s, when they were used to secure beads in place to keep the beads from escaping the necklace. Some are still used in this safety capacity today, while others are added just to enhance the necklace’s appearance or length.
Their use has grown from primarily serving a security function to preserve the necklace, to adding an actual enhancement to the beauty and value of the necklace where they are found. It is now common for these spacers to be fashioned from semi-precious stones or fine metals such as gold and silver, in addition to the utilitarian substances of plastic, wood and glass which have traditionally been used
A popular use of these beads is to add detail to bead creations that you are designing in order to leave your personal imprint on your work. The presence of the spacer bead of your choice can add individuality and extra beauty to your unique design.
Whether you are creating a special bead necklace for your own use and enjoyment that reflects your own personal style and flair, or designing a special one to be used as a gift to a dear friend, dress up your creation with the use of bead spacers. Elegant and innovative jewelry such as a pink necklace is certain to be the result of your efforts!
