14k Gold Filled
14k Gold Filled
Ease of care: 4/5

The solid gold look without the solid gold price. Our gold fill pieces feature a heavy layer of 14k gold that’s been heat- and pressure-bonded to a jeweler’s brass core. Similar to our gold plating, but with even more durability thanks to the bonding process.

Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver
Ease of care: 4/5

Solid, precious metal that lasts forever. It darkens with time, but can be polished up. Oils from your skin help prevent silver tarnish... so wear it often!

Want even more details about materials? Check this out.

  1. Find a tool to use (string, dental floss, headphone cord, measuring tape if you have it).
  2. Find the length by wrapping it around your neck and marking it (for pendants, imagine the jewelry lower, for suspended, it should be in line).
  3. Check the length against a ruler or lay it out flat and measure with a phone app.

Alternatively: Measure an existing necklace end to end with a ruler (most accurate) or a phone app (great if you don't have a ruler handy).

    Forever Foursome

    I love my necklace and wear it daily. My four golden beads are my permanent reminder that we are forever a family of four, even though our beloved Louisa is no longer in this world with us.

    Delicate silver chain

    Necklace was more delicate than expected, and the beads caught on the chain. Wish they'd been a little bigger so I wouldn't worry about them damaging the chain over time. Some irregularity also in the soldered loop closings (oblong, not round), and very thin. I think one other review mentioned this. Overall not what I was expecting, but I see lots of other positive reviews here.

FAQS

All you need to know about the Friendship Beads Necklace.

Find answers to our most-asked questions here, from care tips to jewelry options and more.

What is a friendship beads necklace?

This piece is a modern take on a friendship necklace: think the bead necklaces you shared as a kid, but in a streamlined silhouette and crafted from high-quality materials! It’s designed to represent friends, family or milestones, with a bead for each person. 

What could a necklace with three beads represent?

We love the idea of choosing a bead to represent a special person or moment in your life. A 3-bead necklace could represent three best friends, three sisters, three milestones, anything! Same for any number of beads—you can add up to seven.

Yes! This friendship necklace can accommodate up to seven beads.

Can I add more than 7 beads to this piece? Or add more later?

We designed this piece to add 7 beads max, and we don't currently offer add-on beads. For a similar piece, see our Aura Birthstone Bead Necklace—it's another sentimental option you can add to over the years.
