Our Indian Summer collection is a concentrate of colorful jewelry featuring natural stones. In this tutorial, discover how to create a multi-row necklace combining two natural stones: Tourmaline and Rhodochrosite. Stacking necklaces have been on trend for several seasons now, and can be combined with an accumulation of earrings or bracelets, as in this case. It takes about thirty minutes to make this set of necklaces.
The first necklace is a Forçat chain with links alternating with small flowers in gold beads and faceted Rhodochrosite beads. It can be worn like a choker.
The second necklace features Tourmaline nugget beads, set between pieces of Rombo mesh chain.
The third necklace is a 2.5 mm Rombo mesh chain accompanied by a rhinestone letter charm. You can also choose a charm in the shape of a flower, heart or shell to replace the letter.
This tutorial doesn't require much in the way of materials: all you'll need is a pair of wire cutters and round-tipped pliers. Be careful to adapt the length of your necklaces to the size of your neck, so don't hesitate to test with the wire before closing them.
These necklaces are also customizable thanks to the natural stones that you can replace to suit your tastes. For example, you can replace the Forçat chain with natural stone flowers with the Rutile Quartz or Lapiz Lazuli version. Or why not replace your Tourmaline nugget beads with another type of natural stone? As you can see, you can customize these necklaces as you wish!

Cut about 5 cm of brass wire and bend it at 90° using flat-nose pliers.
Form a loop with fine-tipped pliers by catching the end of the nail and turning it away from the angle.
Slide on a round stainless steel bead, a Tourmaline nugget bead and a round stainless steel bead again.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to form a loop to close your divider.
Repeat these steps as many times as you like.
I chose to include 8 for a 40 cm necklace.
Cut 3 cm of 1.3 mm Rombo chain.
Slide the chain you've just cut through one of the loops on your divider.
Repeat the operation, cutting two pieces of chain per divider and assembling them.
Once all your chains have been assembled to your nugget bead spacers, you can use two flat clips to add a ring to the ends of the chain and the clasp on one side.
Cut 39 cm Forçat & flower gemstone chain
Add a ring and clasp to the ends.
Cut the desired length of 2.5 mm Rombo mesh chain to form your third, longest necklace.
Using two flat pliers, add a ring to attach your clasp.
Do the same at the other end with just one ring.
Now slide on your pendant, previously attached to your clasp.
