Summer is coming soon too, as well as beach and pool sessions, that's why we decided to dedicate this collection to stainless steel primers. Indeed, stainless steel, in addition to being a hypoallergenic metal, is also a metal that holds very well over time. No risk of rust or oxidation with it! The vast majority of the collar is made with 316 L stainless steel, also called surgical steel.
To add some color to this necklace, we went with gemstone beads. We have dozens of different types and colors for your enjoyment. Feel free to customize this necklace and show us the result on social networks or in a review at the bottom of this tutorial.

Cut 10 cm of thread. Thread it through the bottom ring. Add 5 shield beads on each side. Thread the wire through the next rings. String 3 x 3mm beads and a crush bead on each side.
Cross the wires in the top ring and pass the wire ends through the squeeze beads and the first two beads. Squeeze and flatten the squeeze beads with flat tongs.
Cut 40 cm of chain. More, if you want a longer necklace. You can test the desired length with a piece of wire that you measure with a ruler. With open rings, attach the clasp on one end of the chain and the extension chain on the other.
Fold the chain in half to mark the middle. Add the pendant with a new ring.
Cut 70 cm of thread. Thread a squeeze bead, a wire guard and iron through the squeeze bead. Leave about 5 cm of wire end. Flatten the squeeze bead with the flat tongs.
Thread the beads. Pass the remaining thread through the beads as well. On the model, 12 cm of red beads, 5 pink shield beads, 8 cm of hematite beads, 5 shield beads, 12 cm of red beads. Adjust these values according to the length of the necklace you want. Do the same as step 5 to finish the other side. Thread the remaining thread through 6 beads, then trim the excess.
Connect the two parts of the necklace. To do this, attach the necklace with the beads to the clasp ring and the extension chain. You can add more rings later if the necklace is too short for you, but try to make it the right size first.
