Torsade Necklaces

Browse our selection of torsade necklaces, twisted pearl necklaces and matching costume earrings:

• Torsade Necklaces
• Torsade Clip Earrings
• Torsade Pierced Earrings

Our colourful torsade necklaces and matching costume earrings are strung using hundreds of tiny glass beads from the island of Murano. The torsade necklaces are all handmade in Venice and multi strands made up of thousands of hand strung beads are secured to form the twisted bead necklaces termed torsade (meaning a twisted cord, or ornamental twist).

A torsade necklace is very versatile and can dress an outfit either up or down. The glints of gold and silver found in the twisted necklaces enable them to be worn with toning evening dresses, yet a torsade necklace can also look casual when worn with jeans and a t-shirt. 

Twisted pearl necklaces...

Our twisted pearl necklaces feature pearls teamed with jade beads, colourful blister pearls and amethyst chips – see the

• Springtime twisted pearl necklace
• Autumn Leaves twisted pearl necklace, and
• Contrasts twisted pearl necklace. 

We have matching costume jewellery earrings in both clip earring and pierced earring styles to complement the Venetian torsade necklaces and together the earrings and twisted necklaces make a stunning present for a lucky lady! With so many colours to choose from these necklaces are hugely popular because they are so eye-catching, versatile and comfortable to wear. 

A torsade necklace is unusual...

A torsade necklace is also quite an unusual, classy, and rarely seen bead necklace (unless you live in Italy of course!). Each year when we visit Italy we try to add to the range and as it is impossible to feature absolutely everything in our mail order catalogue our torsade necklace aficionados tend to check the site regularly to see the full range on offer. 

Torsade necklaces look good untwisted too...

They look equally good worn untwisted by the way, so if you want to be a bit different leave all the strands cascading down the décolleté and combine the torsade necklace with the matching twisted clip or pierced earrings to really achieve that wow factor!
