Stop Going to the Salon: Try 925 Silver Clasp Red Natural Stone Beaded Necklace Instead

Real Talk Review

I bought the 925 Silver Clasp Red Natural Stone Beaded Necklace because the colour grabbed me. It’s loud in the best way. The beads are actual natural stone. The clasp is 925 silver and feels solid. My hands felt the weight and thought, "this is proper."

Handmade in Australia. Huge plus. I reckon that the care in the finishing shows. Compared to mall costume jewellery, this is a step above. Compared to a boutique counter or salon pieces? It sits comfortably beside them. Clean finish. No cheap glue showing. The stringing feels neat.

How it wears

It lands just on the collarbone for me. Works with tees and dresses. The red is deep and slightly earthy. A heap of people asked where I got it. It’s a statement without being obnoxious.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Looks boutique-level for the price.
• Pro: 925 silver clasp feels secure.
• Pro: Handmade in Australia — you can tell it's made with care.
• Pro: Lasts 2 weeks of everyday wear without drama (my experience).
• Con: Needs careful removal. Don’t tug it on/off like a surf rope.
• Con: Natural stones mean slight variation bead-to-bead. I liked that, but some might not.
• Con: Not for heavy gym or rough play. Treat it kindly.

Final Notes

If you want a simple piece that still gets compliments, this is it. I wear it when I want something low-effort but striking. It’s got that handmade charm. And yes — it’s made here in Australia, which I think is a big win.

FAQ

How long does it last?
With normal wear and basic care it can last for years. My short-term test? It handled two weeks of everyday wear with no fraying or clasp issues. Treat it like jewellery — don’t sleep or sweat in it — and you’ll keep it longer.

Is it waterproof?
No. Don’t swim or shower in it. Water, perfume, and sunscreen will dull the beads and speed up tarnish on the clasp. Wipe it down if it gets wet and store it dry.
