This gorgeous brown bead necklace with a gold cord keeps catching my attention in French Connection  (£18) - but the beads just start too low for me. The cord is quite long and the beads very heavy - so unless you’ve got a decent length torso (mine is officially 2 inches short and is a “child’s torso” according to a rather abrupt wedding dress shop owner in Somerset when I was trying on bridesmaids dresses) I think the neck area looks too sparse.

But as an alternative, Dorothy Perkins currently have quote a few chunky bead necklaces, all of which are - whilst more casual than the French Connection option - funky and attractive. Above on the right is the one I bought for £10.
