Top 10 Necklaces and Bracelets for Your Boho Image Ensembles

By Carly Wickell, About.com

Bohemian styling--Boho for short--is an ethnic look that combines clothing and accessories drawn from styles worn by native people from around the world. Think back to the late 1960's to early 1970's era of flower children or "hippies." Boho's a lot like that style, with layered clothing and accessories made from natural materials. Don't try to match things--Boho lets you put styles together in any way that feels good to you.

1. Anna Bijoux Layered, Natural-Look Necklace

A soft, flowing layered-look necklace made from strands of raffia and cloth, casually and asymmetrically set with river stones and glass and metal beads. The necklace is adjustable. It's available in additional color combinations.

2. London Fashion Week Necklace with Medallion

Groups of black, faux leather strands are knotted to the sides of a round center medallion that's made from a combo of metal, river stones and Swarovski crystals. Adjustable.

3. Choker with Bohemian Glass Beads

A choker that almost looks woven in the shape of flowers, it contains Bohemian glass beads in subtly changing shades of copper, brown and deep purple. This will look fantastic around your neck.

4. Zadie Necklace, Carved Plastic

dELiAs offers this burgundy plastic necklace of carved disks with starburst-like motifs. The discs overlap a little and are positioned at the center of your neck, getting smaller as they move to the back to link with a strand of burgundy beads. You can definitely make this necklace work with a layered Boho look.

5. Carol Dauplaise Layered Beaded Necklace

Three strands of beads in three different lengths create their own layered look. Larger beads surrounded by smaller beads with a variety of bead shapes. Choose colorful strands or go natural with the ivory to browns group.

6. Liquid Silver Bracelet with Turquoise

This bracelet will work with lots of looks, not just Boho. Multiple strands of flowing liquid silver are connected and wrap around your wrist. A central motif is fashioned from turquoise heishi beads--very short cylindrical beads that form a kind of tubish look when placed side-by-side.

7. 90-Inch Beaded Necklace

Wrap this mix of multicolored seed beads and stones around your neck several times to create deep layers or leave it longer and let it sway as you walk. Available in corals or more subdued earthy tones.

8. Multi-Stranded 14K Gold Necklace

Sometimes a touch of pure gold is all you need to complete your look. This one, with six strands of 14K gold beads, will definitely pull your ensemble together in an understated but Boho chic way. It's available in several lengths.

9. Murano Glass Drop Pedant

I can definitely see this organic-looking, hand-blown glass pendant resting against your neck under a layered outfit. It hangs gracefully from a cluster of multicolor laces that work perfectly with your layered fashions.

10. Boho Look Assortment

Ruby Lane sells all kinds of antique and collectible jewelry. The pieces in this collection of items are all listed as "Boho," but they might not all be your idea of the look. That's the beauty of Boho--it's a free-flowing style that lets you create your own special version of it. Anything goes!
