Description

The Bead by Bead on the Appalachian Trail necklace is a unique representation of the 2,200-mile footpath stretching from Georgia to Maine. Each of the 14 states the AT passes through is represented by a different colored bead, and the number of beads corresponds to the mileage per state. Each necklace comes with a tracking ring that can be moved along the necklace to track a hiker’s progress or mark a special place. The Bead by Bead on the Appalachian Trail necklace is the perfect gift for the hiker in your life, a celebratory or inspirational piece for yourself, and can even be worn by those at home to follow their favorite hiker along the trail.

Each 18” necklace is handcrafted with durable waxed cord, a sterling silver clasp, and sturdy glass beads. It is rugged enough to be worn every day on-trail, and striking enough to jazz up any town outfit. Whether in the woods or at a wedding, it’s a great tool to steer any conversation towards your favorite subject!

How to choose a bead style: The main difference between the two styles – round or square beads – is the length of the beaded portion of the necklace. The beaded portion for the square beads is 13.5”, and for the round beads is 10”. So, if you would like to look in the mirror and see the whole trail from end to end on the front of your neck, choose the round bead style. If you’d rather have the beads wrap farther around your neck, choose the square beads. A few of the square beads also have more shine to them if you prefer a little sparkle around your neck.

    Love it! Great to wear hiking as a reminder of all the AT section hikes I’ve done over the years with my sisters and friends.

    Happy to support the conservancy, a great way to track your friend or family on the trail when you can't join them! Very comfortable to wear each day!

    I recently ordered and received the square bead necklace and I love it! It is made very well and the beads are colorful. I love that it is representing the AT and the thur-hiking journey I hope to do in the future. I would recommend this.
