Goodbye, gold! So long, silver! Right now, it’s all about mixing up your #NeckMess game with a kaleidoscopic cohort of rainbow beaded necklaces.
Now that you’ve stocked up on gold chains to layer and personalised necklaces to throw into the mix, it’s time to inject a healthy dose of colour into your #NeckMess game.
Indeed, this summer, our jewellery has been more colourful, chunkier and playful than ever, thanks to the renaissance of the beaded bling last seen on fashion’s agenda in the 90s. Think big and bright and bold beads layered in among your daily go-to chains.
The demand is clear, too: Missoma has recently debuted its first beaded collection, which features a clutch of kaleidoscopic beaded bracelets, necklaces and anklets, while London-based label Dana Levy’s cult chains are among the best in the homegrown game.

Even for the colour averse among us, these myriad chains could not be easier to wear with pride. And they’re not going anywhere as autumn comes around. Wear on their own for a conversation-starter of a necklace or layered among ye olde faithful gold and silver chains for a little sprinkle of sartorial rainbow magic. Here are some of our favourites.
Rhimani Multi-coloured Beaded Necklace
Summer may be coming to an end, but we’re clinging onto those just-back-from-holiday vibes with Rhimani’s multicoloured glass bead necklace. What sets this handmade piece apart is that it can be lengthened by adding an adjustable sterling silver chain, making it the ideal layering piece for a neck party. Even better, Rhimani donates 10% of profits to African conservation work.
Wear with a white shirt now, then over a slimline black jumper for a sleek trans-seasonal contrast once the weather decides not to play ball anymore.
