There are many different styles of necklaces, and while there are universal names for these styles, many jewelry designers make up their own names for the handmade necklace styles in their boutique. At Kincaidesigns, we use some universal names and other names we just made up, or we think we made up. I don't mean we've named handmade necklaces like "Julie" or "Maria", I mean we made up names that described each style of necklace, such as "Chain Link Necklace with Drop" otherwise known as a Y-necklace. This may sound boring, or clinical, but we wanted to be as descriptive as possible for our customers. Not everyone knows what a Y-Necklace is, or a Lariat or Opera necklace. So we made up our own names.

This article series will help you understand the names of each necklace style at Kincaidesigns. When you shop for necklaces, they are divided into categories. This information will guide your through the necklace boutique at Kincaidesigns Handmade Jewelry.

Triple Strand Handmade Necklace

When you arrive in the Handmade Necklace Boutique at Kincaidesigns, your see the Triple Strand Necklaces right away. These are, well, necklaces with three strands. Self explanatory. Most of the three strand necklaces are "strung" (opposed to chain link) and are adorned with handmade glass beads, Swarovski Crystals, pearls, semiprecious stones, and more unique beads. They are a signature style which will give you an idea of the unique bead and jewelry designs you'll find at Kincaidesigns. Another type of triple strand necklace can also be categorized as a "chain link" necklace. These necklaces are constructed of sterling silver wire and chain instead of the beads being strung on a stringing material. All of the three strand necklaces are considered the most dramatic in the Kincaidesigns handmade jewelry collection and are guaranteed to have people asking where you found such a stunning piece of jewelry.
