Gemstone beads are ultra-trendy this season, and what better way to add a touch of bohemian chic to your spring looks than with a colorful necklace? Easy to make, this jewel combines beads in soft hues for a unique handmade creation full of charm. The great thing is that you can personalize it by choosing the colors of the stones to suit your tastes and desires. The result is a personalized bead necklace to match your favorite outfits:
Choose pastel-colored stones for a poetic style, bright colors for a hippie look or mix the two to create a chic, timeless bohemian necklace. In fact, this necklace is part of the La Bohème jewelry tutorial collection, featuring a selection of DIYs based around gemstones. If you like this style of delicate jewelry, take a look at our bracelets and earrings, which you may be able to match with this pretty necklace.
You can also turn your necklace into a piece of gri-gri jewelry by choosing a pendant that means something to you. We have hundreds of gri-gri pendants in our catalog.
Don't forget, once your necklace is finished, to share your creations on social networks by mentioning @perlesandco. We can't wait to see your beautiful creations!
Take your cabled wire with you. Test it around your neck before cutting. You'll need an extra 15 cm or so to finish it off.
Thread 1 crush bead and a wire protector onto your wire. Thread the wire back through the bead, leaving about 5 cm of wire end over the bead. Flatten the bead to be crushed with pliers (you can use our data sheet: How to use crush beads?
Check that the wire no longer moves and, for a better finish, add a crush bead cover.
Thread the beads, using the attached photo as a guide.
Once assembly is complete, repeat step 1 on the other side of the wire.
Once both sides of the wire are secured, you can add an open ring to the inside of each wire wrap protector.
Add the clasp on one side and the extension chain on the other.
