Loved ones when referring to family and those close to you is correct. They would just be referred to as beloved in reference. ie: my beloved family. Typically beloved ones isn't used.

One(loved one) talks about neutral form that you love by choices and commitment where emotions are optional. Beloved means someone you love with involuntary natural inclination of heart and it has more emotions as fundamental. Beloved ones aren't quite correct in my eyes due to it's meaning is mostly "Dearest" which indicates mostly to singular people and its usage was too in history. loved ones are realistic as it talks about your own action rather than uncontrolled or fleeting emotions like beloved talks about

If talking of only one, for example "loved one", the expression is usually "your beloved"; if talking of more than one, the usual expression is "your loved ones".

NO, they mean same. Beloved ones is more formal and bookish. Loved ones os more spoken that’s it ☺️☺️
Yes you can say "loved ones" instead of "beloved ones". This is because "beloved ones" isn't actually a used term. You could have a beloved person, pet, location or object though. I hope this helps.
You can use loved one for everything like human animal or an object but beloved ones you must use for some particular person. Example- She is my beloved wife
“Beloved ones” is not preferred or commonly used, “Loved ones” is a much better way to describe friends or family. You could say “I received a visit from my beloved family” or “I received a visit from my loved ones” “Beloved” refers to larger groups or bigger things, while “loved ones” focusses on a smaller more intimate group of people. I hope this explains it💪🏼
It's a smart way of saying the same thing.beloved and loved both referring to people you are close with
A Beloved person , thing or place is something that you feel great affection for. It is an adjective used to describe someone we love deeply or dearly while Loved one is an adjective we use to describe something or someone love. Yes you can use both.
