Want to create a colorful, bohemian piece of jewelry to wear all summer long? This step-by-step tutorial guides you through the creation of a cord necklace with a Mediterranean accent, accessible even to beginners.
The heart of the necklace rests on a soft, natural, shell-shaped ceramic bead that immediately sets the tone for the piece. It's framed by cobalt-blue bone beads, with their deep, intense reflections, and orange ceramic beads that bring warmth and contrast. The ensemble is punctuated by gilded stainless steel beads: rondelles at the ends, round golden beads and delicate square beads adorned with a flower motif, which add a touch of finesse to the composition. The whole is strung on a multicolored braided cord - blending turquoise, coral and gold.
This light, colorful choker can be worn with a white dress or a beach look. Easy to make in less than an hour, it's a great introduction to handmade jewelry. Customize colors, play with bead combinations and create endless variations to suit your desires. We have a wide range of ceramic beads on the site. Handmade jewelry with character - without the hassle.
This necklace is part of our Perles & Pop part 2 collection. A multicolored jewelry collection that mixes bead materials for easy, modern handmade DIY jewelry.
Do the same sequence in sysmetry on the other side. Then place your string of beads on the middle of the cord and tie a knot at both ends to hold it in place.
I also suggest another, more pastel version, for which you'll find the materials on the variation list.
