How about making a unique necklace from mother-of-pearl and natural chip beads to add a sophisticated touch to our autumn outfits? To do this, you'll need a suitable thread, olive mother-of-pearl beads, chip beads of your choice, gold beads, a clasp and an extension chain. This project is simple and perfect for all levels, including beginners who want to get started in jewelry-making.
For this necklace, I chose white mother-of-pearl beads and malachite chips, but you can opt for other colors and textures to suit your style. On our site, discover a wide choice of natural pearls to personalize this necklace to your desires. To help you, you can also consult our autumn winter trend color chart. Burgundy, for example, is THE trend color of the moment, so why not personalize the necklace with garnet natural stone chips and small round burgundy-tinted jade beads?
You can also vary and make this necklace in silver stainless steel, simply by taking silver-colored pearls, wire, clasp and extension chain. The ensemble blends perfectly with the green stones.
This necklace is part of our "Indian Summer" DIY jewelry collection, the first part of which was released in September. You can therefore easily combine this necklace with other jewels in the collection, such as the multi-charm creoles with natural stones and the malachite and adventure bracelet. It's enough to make a lovely set of natural stone jewelry!

Cut between 40 and 50 cm of wire to be wide. Pass one end through a squeeze bead and then through the wire protector. Pass the wire back through the crush bead, crush it with flat-nose pliers or crush bead pliers. You can then cover it with a crush pearl cover.
String beads in sequence: 8 mother-of-pearl beads, 3 small green beads, 6 mother-of-pearl beads, 3 small green beads, 6 mother-of-pearl beads, 3 small green beads, 6 mother-of-pearl beads.
Next, string 5 small golden pearls, followed by around 30 chip pearls. They should measure around 6 cm on the necklace. Follow with 5 more small golden beads.
String the remaining beads in reverse order: 6 mother-of-pearl beads, 3 small green beads, 6 mother-of-pearl beads, 3 small green beads, 6 mother-of-pearl beads, 3 small green beads, 8 mother-of-pearl beads.
Repeat step 2: pass the other end through a squeeze bead and then through the cable protector. Before passing the wire back through the bead to be crushed, pass the ring of the extension chain through the cable protector. Then pass the wire through the bead and crush it with flat-nose pliers or crush-bead pliers. You can then cover it with a crushable pearl cover.
Open the clasp ring and pass it through the other wire guard. Close the ring and your necklace is complete.
