Identifying Necklaces - Bead Colors

Lansing, MI, Us

Hello everyone, we were on a lifestyle friendly cruise this past February and had a great time. During that trip we ran into people that had necklaces that were beads, it had their names and then there were also beads of different colors. The bead color meant different things, well there was a lot of drinking and we cannot recall what the bead colors meant. Does anyone know? Or can you give me a website to go look at, we would like to make some necklaces for when we can be less distant.

Thank you for any information you can share...
