Our Odyssée Perlée collection features jewelry with a vacation feel, inviting us to take a trip to the beach or the sea to discover the charms of the marine world. For this second part of the collection, we've opted for creations mixing colors and materials. This stainless steel necklace is ideal for a piece of costume jewelry and, above all, a creation that lasts over time and is water-resistant in summer.
Discover in this tutorial how to make a multi-strand necklace by mixing stainless steel and glass beads. The multi-strand necklace is still a key jewelry trend for summer 2025, so let's find out together how to create your own! The creation of this necklace is accessible to beginners and the more experienced alike.
It will take about fifteen minutes to make, and is a relatively simple jewelry assembly. You'll need two flat-nose pliers and a pair of wire-cutters, as well as the materials indicated to make the 2 necklaces that will make up your creation. Be careful to adapt the length of your two chains to the size of your neck and the final result you want. Don't hesitate to check in your mirror whether the length is right for you before cutting the chains and starting to make the necklaces! The big advantage of this necklace set is that you can wear them together, but also separately!
This creation can also be customized by replacing the beads and pendant to suit your taste. We have a wide selection of stainless steel pendants on our website, so the hardest part will of course be choosing! A little help? You can replace the coral pendant with a seashell pendant, so you can customize this necklace to your heart's content!

Cut approximately 42 centimeters of the striated Trace chain.
Do the same, cutting approximately 38 centimeters of the pink epoxy bead chain.
Please note that these measurements are to be adapted according to the length you want for each necklace and the size of your neck.
Using two pliers, open a 6x0.7mm ring and slide it, without closing it, into the coral pendant. Folding the Trace chain in half, calculate where the middle of the chain is and close the ring with the pendant on the middle link.
To attach them to the chain, slide a flat-headed nail into each fish and the pearly white shell bead. Using wire cutters, cut each nail so that 1 cm of wire remains. Then form a loop using round-tipped pliers.
You can also use our data sheet: Forming a loop on a nail or jewelry wire.
Attach a 4x0.7 mm ring to each loop you've just formed.
Start by attaching the pearly white shell bead to your Trace chain, to the left of the coral pendant. I've left a space of three links between each pendant.
You can then attach the pink fish.
To the right of the coral pendant, still respecting the three-link gap between each, attach the pearly white shell sequin using a 6x0.7 mm ring. Next, attach your second fish.
Use two pliers to open and hook a 6x0.7 mm ring onto the last link of your chain.
Repeat the same steps as above for the chain with epoxy resin beads, but using 4x0.7 mm rings.
To finish, you can add an extension chain to make it easier to attach this necklace.
