The Tide 2 Strands are made of small to tiny mixed beads . They are easy wear and go well with a suit jacket or dinner party wear; but  I see  no reason not to wear them where ever, it is just a matter of dressing up or down. Usually I have a large varieties of colors in this style, however my latest were all in the deep neutrals--good for a change of season.
