How to make a pearl necklace

Are you new to jewelry-making and wondering how to create a beautiful finish for a necklace or bracelet? In this tutorial, we'll show you how to use wired jewelry wire and how to place a clasp using crush pearls (or crush tubes). The technique used is valid for other types of wire (nylon thread, cotton thread, cords etc...) and comes in several levels of finish depending on your requirements. The basic principle is the crushable bead, to which can be added, as in this tutorial, other elements such as a crushable bead cover and a wire protector.

Beyond the finishing touches, it's a simple matter of stringing beads on wire with the elements of your choice. On our site, you'll find numerous references of natural pearls sold on wire (approx. 39 cm long), including mother-of-pearl, gemstone and freshwater pearls, enabling you to create a necklace with a single reference or by mixing them together. And if you've got leftover pearls, this is the perfect opportunity to make other matching jewels to wear as an accumulation or to offer your nearest and dearest. There's no better way to please your mom, your best friend or your children...

You can personalize your jewelry by choosing a variety of beads: letters, numbers, hearts, flowers, astrological signs, symbols etc... You'll find a few suggestions in the "variations" material list at the bottom of the page. To discover more products, click on the reference that catches your eye and scroll up the category to which it belongs to discover the wide choice of beads available on our site. The hardest part will probably be choosing!

Tutorial steps

Step 1
Summer necklace with heishi beads, heart and mother-of-pearl flowers : Step 1

Cut the length of cord you need (using your neck, wrist or ankle measurements) and add an extra 5 cm for finishing.

Thread a crush bead onto your wire, pass it through the two notches of the wire protector and insert the first link of the extension chain before threading your cable back through the original crush bead.

Crush your crush bead using flat-nose pliers (or crush bead pliers if you have them). Both cables are now securely held in place. Cover the crush pearl with a crush pearl cover, closing it with flat-nose pliers.

Step 2

Now you can start stringing the beads. Be sure to leave a small length of wire inside the first beads, then trim the excess with wire cutters.

Step 3

Create a pattern of your choice with mother-of-pearl beads and round gold beads. As here, you can create symmetry or insert the beads randomly. Let your creativity run wild.

Step 4

Once you've found the ideal length for you, finish off (as described in step 1). The only difference is that you can't insert the clasp directly inside the wire guard. So you'll need to add the clasp using an open ring. To do this, see how to open a ring in our data sheet.
