Tutorial steps

Step 1
For this necklace, you need about 40 cm of chain. Using a wire cutter, cut the chain in 2.
Take a stainless steel nail, thread a pink freshwater pearl. Pass the nail through the last link of the chain, form a loop leaving enough space to create a pigtail. Find the technical sheet to learn how to make this pigtail loop.
Tighten with flat pliers and cut the excess flush.
Step 2

Glue the 4mm rose quartz cabochon on the stainless steel charm. Let it dry for 24 hours.
Attach the charm with the cabochon to the last ring of the second piece of chain.
Thread the 2 pieces of chain through the navy link.
Adjust the hanging part of the necklace to the desired length.
Lock the two chain lengths together by passing an open ring through a link on each side, under the navy link spacer.
Step 3

Bonjour

Cela pose-t-il un problème si l’on n’ arrive pas à mettre les anneaux de part et d’autre de l’intercalaire ?
Merci

Bonjour,
L'anneau positionné sous l'intercalaire maille marine permet d'éviter qu'il ne glisse trop sur la chaîne. Mais pour vous pouvez tout à fait porter le collier sans mettre d'anneau ouvert de part et d'autre de l'intercalaire.

Bonjour
Je rencontre des difficultés pour mette les anneaux reliant les deux chaines au dessus et au dessous de la maille marine.
Avez-vous une astuce ?
Le diamètre du fil de l'anneau semble trop gros pour passer dans les maillons.
Peut-être des anneaux de fil plus fin?
Merci

Bonjour, il faut bien tendre la chaîne afin d'y glisser l'anneau. Mais vous pouvez également utiliser un anneau avec un diamètre de fil de 0.5 mm par exemple SST-788

Merci pour votre réponse, par contre, je n'ai pas compris comment bloquer les chaines dans l'intercalaire maillle marine avec un anneau. Auriez-vous une photo ou un schéma explicatif. En vous remerciant.

Bonjour, ce n'est pas moi qui ai réalisé ce tutoriel mais de ce que je peux voir, il y a un anneau qui relie les deux chaînes avant la maille marine et un autre qui relie les deuxchaines après la maille marine. Vous pouvez le voir ici sur la photo additionnelle. Vous pouvez cliquer sur la photo pour agrandir. Je vais essayer de rajouter cette photo zoomée sur l'étape.

Bonjour, j'ai un doute pour la dimension de 40 cm de chaîne à couper ensuite en 2. Même avec la chaînette d'extension c'est beaucoup trop court pour avoir un collier dont les perles et médaillon arrivent au niveau de la photo. Pouvez-vous me confirmer la dimension s'il vous plait ? Merci

Bonjour, effectivement après vérification, le collier utilise l'entièreté de la chaîne de 50 cm. Je viens de le rectifier sur le tutoriel. Bonne journée
