In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to make a trendy DIY necklace using different types of beads, a jump ring clasp, and stainless steel pendants and charms. Easy to wear every day, this necklace goes well with a wide variety of outfits, from casual looks to more formal styles. This project is part of the February 2026 jewelry tutorial collection titled “Côté cœur ”: a series centered on the theme of hearts, featuring 6 pieces of jewelry to make yourself.
This tutorial is perfect for beginners, as it involves simple techniques: opening and closing a ring, crimping a crimp bead, and using a wire protector. The links (in pink) take you directly to our technical guides, where you can learn these basics step by step and create a neat, durable piece.
You can customize it however you like by changing the beads and stainless steel components. Be sure to keep the sizes of the beads you choose consistent. We’ve opted for beads with diameters of 3 mm and 7 mm. This necklace features Miyuki 8/0 seedbeads, Czech glass beads, freshwater pearl imitation beads, and gemstone beads. We’ve also added stainless steel beads to complement the gold accents in the design.
To finish your necklace, explore our wide selection of gold-plated stainless steel pendants and charms: eyes, stars, birds… There’s something for every style and inspiration, so you can create a truly unique piece of jewelry.

Cut about 50 cm of wire.
Thread one end of the wire through a wire protector. Then slip a Crimp bead into both wires.
Flatten the bead to be crushed with special crushing bead pliers or flat-nose pliers.
Add a bead cover and close it gently around the bead to be crushed, using pliers.
String your beads in random order, alternating bead types for a harmonious result.
Then add rings to the wire protectors and attach to the buoy clasp.
Use pliers and rings to attach your charms to the clasp.
Your necklace is finished!
Here's how to open a ring efficiently:
Open the ring by rotating the two ends with two jewelry pliers. Close it by rotating the ends again. Turn back and forth at the end to reposition the ends.
