Our Moments Précieux collection features stainless steel jewelry. It's the perfect material for long-lasting costume jewelry, accessible to beginners and experienced designers alike! Discover in this tutorial how to make a multi-strand necklace by mixing stainless steel and pearly pearls. The multi-strand necklace is one of the major jewelry trends of 2024, so let's find out together how to create your own!
You'll need around forty minutes to make it, and it's a relatively simple jewelry assembly. You'll need two flat-nose pliers, a pair of wire-cutters and the materials indicated to make the 4 necklaces that will make up your creation. Be sure to adapt the length of your chains to the size of your neck, so check in the mirror to see if the length suits you! The big advantage of this necklace is its magnetic clasp, which offers you 4 fasteners: no more necklaces that get tangled up, you'll be able to attach them all to one and the same clasp! And if you want to wear the different necklaces separately, simply attach a stainless steel lobster clasp to one end of your necklace and you're done!
This multi-row necklace can also be personalized with 3 charms that you can replace to suit your tastes. We have a wide selection of stainless steel charms on our website, so the hardest part will of course be choosing! Here's a little help: you can replace the heart charm with a shell charm, the bee charm with a heart charm and finally, the santiag charm with a pretty moon charm. As you can see, you can customize this necklace as you wish!

First, we'll reproduce the choker with the pearly beads and bee charm. You'll need 45cm of wire, two round beads to crush, two wire protectors, between 85 and 95 4mm round pearly beads and the bee charm.
Pass the wire through a crushable bead using flat-nose pliers, then slide a wire-wrap protector over it.
Slide the wire through the other part of the wire protector and pass it through your squeeze bead. Using flat-nose pliers, push your crush bead against your wire guard. Then crush your crush bead with your flat-nose pliers. Cut off the excess wire, leaving a centimetre of excess.
Thread the first pearly bead so that the return of the wire passes inside it, so that it is well concealed.
Continue by stringing around 45 pearly beads. These should reach halfway up the necklace, so adjust according to the diameter of your neck. Don't hesitate to try the necklace on in front of a mirror to make sure you have the right number of pearls.
Now you can string your bee charm and then the other half of the pearly beads.
You can repeat steps 1 and 2 of the tutorial: slide on a pearl to be crushed, then a wire protector, sliding the wire on both sides. Then, after bringing the bead and protection as close as possible to the last pearly bead, crush the bead to be crushed with your flat-nose pliers.
Now we move on to making the necklace with the heart charm. It needs to be longer than your pearl necklace. You can cut about 45 cm of Forçat 2.6mm chain.
Slide the heart charm into a daisy chain, then loop the whole thing through your chain.
Repeat the same step with the next necklace: cut approximately 50cm from the 3.7mm Gourmette chain and slide the Santiag charm onto the chain using a belière.
This necklace should be the longest of the 4 necklaces.
Now for the last necklace: cut off about 37cm of the rectangle chain. This necklace is a choker, and should be the shortest of the 4 necklaces.
Finally, attach your necklaces to the two sliding magnet clasps. To do this, attach a ring to each end of your necklaces using two clips, and hang them in the same order as in the photo above.
