There's nothing complicated aboutmaking a necklace with a chain and pendant. This is a beginner's jewelry tutorial. To make these two necklaces from chain, set natural stones and mother-of-pearl, you'll need a set of jewelry pliers: a pair of cutting pliers to recut the chains to the right length, a pair of round pliers and a pair of flat pliers (or two flat pliers), to open and close the connecting rings.
The gemstone pendants and spacers I offer are in gold-plated metal. We also have natural stone spacers and pendants in 925 gold-plated silver. Feel free to take a look. The ball chain and primers are made of gold-plated stainless steel, except for the forçat chain, which is made of gold filled, also known as rolled gold. The latter is very fine and delicate, but if you wish, you can find another compatible chain in gold-filled stainless steel in the variations section of the equipment list. You'll also find the equivalent rings and clasps in gold filled. It's up to you to choose the material that suits you best: the nobility of gold over a more classic metal base, or the strength and affordability of gold-plated stainless steel. Please note, however, that we don't currently have a gold filled ball chain end.
These two tourmaline, chalcedony and mother-of-pearl necklaces are very easy to make and very delicate. They will subtly complement your outfits: over a mohair sweater or to sublimate a blouse, they are easy-to-wear jewelry pieces. The drop pendant comes in many different colors. You can buy several and change the pendant on the necklace in seconds to match the colors of your outfit.
The tourmaline insert colors are random.
Cut between 35 and 45 cm of chain, depending on the size of your neck and your preferences. Test the length of the chain on your neck before cutting. Then cut the chain into two equal pieces. On each piece, add a 3 mm ring. These will be used to attach the tourmaline spacer. Close the rings perfectly, going back and forth slightly at the end to place the two ends of the ring edge-to-edge and prevent the chain from coming out of the ring.
Add 3 mm rings to the other two pieces of chain. Then attach a lobster clasp on one side and a 4 mm ring on the other.
Cut a piece of ball chain slightly larger than the previous necklace. Cut 3 to 7 cm longer than the first necklace. Test the length on your neck before cutting.
On each end of the chain, add bead chain ends, connecting rings and a spring clasp.
Add a 4 mm ring to the pendant and close it on the ball chain.
