Luxe layers of pearls, shimmering crystal in ocean hues and ammonite beads twisted into a beautiful multi-strand necklace.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • Crystal rice beads in 3 colors
  • freshwater pearls
  • wildfire cord .006
  • crimp beads
  • crimp covers
  • Nunn design textured jump rings
  • paperclip chain
  • hook & eye clasp
  • 2' of paperclip chain

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Cut four 22" pieces of thread. Slide the beads on each strand in the pattern shown or make up your own.

Step

Step 2

Cut the tps of the thread at an angle. Slide the ends through the crimp bead and up through the wire protector.

Step

Step 3

Bring the thread down through the other hole of the protector and back through the crimp bead. Pull the beads up to the crimp tube. I try to tuck my thread ends back down the bead holes, you can always just trim them off. Crimp the crimp tube.

Step

Step 4

I add a touch of super glue for security and attach the crimp cover. Use pliers to close the crimp cover tightly. Braid the strands before you add a crimp to the other side.

Step

Step 5

Braid the strands together.

Step

Step 6

Attach the large jump rings to the wire protectors. Cut two 5.5" pieces of chain. Attach the chain to the jump rings. Open the loops (or use jump rings) on the hook and eye and attach to your chain.
