The “Rice Necklace” is a romantic New Orleans wedding keepsake designed for the joyful moments just after the vows are exchanged — the perfect gift to hand out before guests second line through the streets of New Orleans celebrating love, music, and tradition. Inspired by the timeless custom of tossing rice after a wedding ceremony, this necklace is hand-strung with translucent oval and opalescent beads that shimmer like glowing grains of rice beneath the city lights.
Each piece can be customized with the bridal party’s names, your wedding date, favorite Mardi Gras krewe, family name, or elegant bead patterns for a more timeless and refined look. The smaller seed beads shown throughout the necklace can also be customized in your choice of black, bronze, white, silver, or clear to match the mood and colors of your celebration.
Designed as both a wearable celebration and a treasured keepsake, the Rice Necklace beautifully captures the spirit of a New Orleans wedding — from the cathedral steps to the second line parade winding through the French Quarter beneath the lanterns and night sky.
Perfect for:
- Wedding guest gifts
- Bridal party favors
- Second line celebrations
- Destination weddings in New Orleans
- Save the Dates and wedding welcome gifts
While these necklaces make beautiful Save the Dates, guests often forget to bring them back for the ceremony — which is why they are especially magical when gifted at the wedding itself, moments before the celebration begins.
For orders over 12 pieces, pricing becomes flexible for weddings, krewes, and large celebrations.
