Item strung on a necklace (4)

I believe the answer is:

bead

(Other definitions for bead that I've seen before include "Drop of liquid on a surface" , "Drop, part of rosary" , "Necklace element" , "Round piece of glass, etc" , "Drop of moisture; holed piece of glass" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
