A summery double-strand necklace made of gold-plated steel and pearlescent beads, adorned with resin lemon charms and hand-painted ceramic beads. Fully customizable; can be made in less than 2 hours.
A fresh, handcrafted piece of jewelry you can make in under 2 hours! This necklace features two strands: a string of pearlescent beads interwoven with a gold-plated stainless steel chain —accented with fun charms for a summery, original, and fully customizable look.
Inspired by blooming gardens and lazy afternoons under lemon trees, it combines hand-decorated ceramic beads featuring lemon patterns and blue stripes, yellow resin lemon charms, and pearlescent beads. A cheerful, lightweight, easy-to-wear accessory that’s perfect for enhancing your summer outfits.
You can customize it in endless ways by selecting other stainless steel charms, handcrafted ceramic beads, or by varying the colors of your pearlescent beads.

Cut about 70 cm of wire, then thread a crimp bead onto it. Thread the wire through the wire protector and back through the crimp bead. Squeeze the crimp bead closed using flat-nose pliers or crimping pliers.
Thread 6 bead rings onto the wire, then attach the wire to the last link of the chain using an open jump ring.
Close the ring using two flat-nose pliers.
Slide the cord through the 7th link of the chain.
Thread 6 more bead beads onto the wire and pass the wire through the 7th link, alternating the direction from the previous step so that the bead beads sit above or below the chain.
Continue in this manner until you reach the desired length. In this tutorial, we repeated the process 15 times to make a 54-centimeter necklace, not including the extension chain.
Using a good pair of wire cutters (stainless steel is relatively difficult to cut), cut the last link of the chain, leaving 7 links.
You now have the 6 beads on the pearl-coated thread on one side and the end of the chain with 7 links on the other.
Thread a crimp bead onto the wire, add a wire protector, and thread the wire back through the crimp bead.
