Morphology

beaded = bead (transparent) = bead + ed

Standard adjectival formation from the verb 'bead' meaning to form small drops; the meaning 'covered with droplet-like beads' is directly derived.

Etymology

Beaded comes from the word bead, which once meant a 'prayer' and the small round object used to count prayers on a string. So, because tiny drops of liquid look like little round beads, beaded means 'covered with small drops of liquid'.
