In this tutorial, learn how to make a freshwater pearl and gemstone necklace. Easy and rather quick to make, it will perfectly accessorize your winter outfits. Created from freshwater pearls but also from natural stones, this fine necklace for women will be ideal to dress up a pretty neckline. A pretty round clasp will bring a less classical and more elegant detail to the jewel, especially if you choose to wear it with your hair up.
The hue of Amazonite, symbol of peace, and Sodalite, symbol of intelligence, will give an icy and wintry side to this DIY necklace. There are many gemstones with different characteristics. If you believe in their virtues, you can adapt this necklace to your needs. If not, you can also choose these natural stones according to your astrological sign or your date of birth. Our data sheets can help you with the gemstones on our site. You will just have to be careful to choose the same beads as the ones mentioned in the material list. Also adapt the color of the PureCrystal tops, we have many colors on our site.

Re-cut the chain if necessary so that the two ends of the chain match. Open a costume jewelry ring with two pliers, rotating both ends of the ring. Do not pull the two ends apart as this will distort the ring. Slide the last link of the chain and the clasp ring into this ring. Do the same on the other end of the chain.
Fold the chain in half and cut it in the middle to have two identical parts.
On a round head nail, thread 1 crystal top, 1 4 mm washer, 1 sodalite bead, 1 7 mm washer, the square Amazonite bead and reverse to make the second side symmetrical. Bend the nail at 90° at the base of the last bead, using the round pliers. Recut the nail 7 to 8 mm from the fold.
Grab the end of the nail with the round pliers and turn it while holding the nail to form a loop. You must turn it in the opposite direction of the fold.
Do the same thing, this time stringing 1 crystal spinner, 1 4 mm washer, 1 freshwater pearl, 1 4 mm washer, 1 crystal spinner. Repeat this step one more time to get two small spacers.
Connect all the parts by opening the loops to slide the elements in.
