Making this natural pearl necklace is accessible to beginners in jewelry making. Thanks to our video, learn the basic techniques in costume jewelry that will allow you to make many necklaces and bracelets yourself. Our pearls are real freshwater pearls. Their irregular shapes give the pearls a natural look. To accentuate this raw side of the pearls, we have added some larger pearls randomly.
The multi-strand clasp used looks vintage with its two filigree sides. You can also choose a more modern clasp to contrast with the retro look of the beads.
This necklace can be worn for a wedding, a ceremony, both by the bride or the guests. It can also give a retro side to your evening wear. For example, associated with a simple black dress for a style Audrey Hepburn in the film Diamond on the couch. However, as this style of necklace is becoming more and more fashionable, you can also see it worn with more casual outfits like a streetwear style sweater.
The wire used is wired wire for jewelry. It is a wire both flexible and rigid that allows to create necklaces and bracelets with heavy beads. Indeed, these beads are a little lighter than glass, but they are not hollow. So you will need a strong wire to make jewelry. Wired beads do not knot. You have to use crushable beads. We show you that in the video.

Cut 3 wires 45 cm long.
Attach the first thread to the clasp. Thread a small squeeze bead onto the end of the wire, pass it through the first ring and then pass the end of the wire back through the squeeze bead. Next, either use a pair of pliers for very small squeezable beads, or flat pliers. Place a crush bead cover over the crush bead and close the cover.
String our pearls, randomly mixing small freshwater pearls with a few large freshwater pearls.

Thread a crush pearl again, pass through the ring opposite, back through the
crush pearl and the pearls.
Flatten the crush pearl, then put on the pearl cover.
Do the same with the other two pieces of wire.
You can either wear it like this, or open the clasp and wind the pearls to make a twisted pearl necklace.
