Why does everyone keep calling a single necklace "a pair"?
It is a single item. it isn't a pair of earrings.

Beaded necklaces are an item where it's common to use "pair" even if there are not two of them, but composed of parts, like pants, glasses, scissors, pliers, etc. For instance, it's common say, "Pair of rosary beads."
