Blush Pink Pearl Necklace

Blush Pink Pearl Necklace

This simple pearl bead necklace is a modern and minimalist design, which would be perfect for a gift for someone special. 

If you like the design but fancy using an alternative gemstone, browse our huge collection of gemstone beads and faceted rondelle beads which are delicate and sparkly and would also work really well with this design.

Remember to ensure your wire size is appropriate for the beads you are using. We have used 0.3mm wire.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Firstly, find the half way point in your chain and cut it in half using side cutters.

2. Next, take about 10cm of 0.3mm round wire. You may wish to harden the wire a little before use as it is quite fine and flexible. An easy way to do this is to hold either end of the wire with snipe or flat nose pliers and twist gently in opposite directions, you will notice after twisting a few times the wire will feel a little stiffer.

3. Now use round nose pliers to form a loop about 2cm down from one end. Thread one end of the chain into the loop and then create a tight neat coil with the wire by wrapping the shorter end around itself. For a detailed step by step instruction including clear photographs to help you learn the technique click here.

4. Next, thread the pearl onto the wire.

5. Leave enough wire on the other end (about 2cm) to complete the necklace by using the same wire wrapping technique to attach the wire onto the other side of the chain and wrap around the wire neatly to secure.

Your necklace is now finished!

Why not customise the necklace by adding even more beads to create a bead bar?
