DIY Wedding - PureCrystal pearl neck beaded necklace

How to create a chic jewel for a wedding?

Halter necklaces with freshwater pearls are becoming increasingly popular in contemporary weddings. These unique jewels, combining Victorian elegance with modern style, have become the preferred choice of brides looking to add a special touch to their wedding attire. Halter necklaces create an attractive silhouette that draws attention to the bride's back.

Freshwater pearls, with their natural luster and variety of shapes and colors, are perfect for this type of jewelry. They bring a sense of luxury and sophistication, yet are versatile enough to suit a range of wedding dress styles. In this tutorial, we also used Keshi beads. These are beads made by layering mother-of-pearl from a graft or naturally. But unlike cultured pearls, they have no core. They are therefore essentially baroque freshwater pearls.

All in all, a halter necklace with freshwater pearls is a perfect choice for any bride who wants to stand out on her wedding day. It's a jewel that combines luxury, elegance and personalization, making every bride a true queen on her wedding day. But backless jewelry can also be worn by guests. In this case, choose an elegant top or a brightly colored dress to match the wedding theme.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to make a back necklace for a special occasion. All you need is some chain, a few freshwater pearls, jewelry clips and off you go. This tutorial was first produced in collaboration with Prima in the 2010s, then updated in 2023 with new, more contemporary beads. In this new version of the tutorial, we present you with a very practical tool for making curls with nails very easily. What's more, the loops will always be the same size, which is not easy to do by hand.
