This simple, elegant DIY necklace features pearly beads and faceted gemstone drop pendants, offering beautiful customization to suit your tastes. The 2-in-1 round Crimp beads guarantee a neat, practical finish, making mounting accessible even to beginners. Adapt the colors of the stones to your own taste and create a unique piece of jewelry that reflects your personality.
This DIY necklace is part of our Côté Jardin collection, on the theme of gemstones. The idea behind this collection is to offer you easy-to-make creations, with beautiful materials and, above all, the freedom to compose a piece of jewelry that suits you, without the need for complicated techniques.
For this model, we start with a simple, elegant base: regularly strung pearly pearls, with a few elements gilded with fine gold to give rhythm and a meticulous finish. Then, at the front of the necklace, we add several faceted gemstone drop pendants. These set the style: they add color, a little relief and a very clean finish, while keeping the necklace light and easy to wear.
This tutorial is really accessible thanks to the 2-in-1 round crush beads. No more visible mountings and pearl covers to add: these golden crush beads are designed to combine practicality and aesthetics. They ensure both a solid hold for your wires and a neat finish, without the need for any additional elements. The result: a necklace that's neat, clean and fun to make, even if you're a beginner.
And the best part is the customization: you can adapt the colors of the faceted drops to your desires, by choosing your favorite stones from the selection available in our catalog. Soft tones, contrasting colors or a mix of stones... it's up to you to create your own version!

Here's the material you'll need for this tutorial!
Cut approximately 45 cm of cord. Thread one end of the wire through a wire protector. Add the clasp to its ring and then slip a 2-in-1 Crimp bead into both wires and crush it with flat-nose pliers.
Here's the sequence of beads I chose.
Here's how to thread the faceted drop pendants.
Once you've finished stringing all your beads, slip on a 2-in-1 Crimp bead, followed by a wire protector and a ring. Thread the wire back through the bead and flatten it with pliers.
Here's how your new necklace looks!
