Paua Shell Tapered Necklace
This tapered turquoise necklace is so simple to make and hangs beautifully on the neck.
We have used our versatile sterling silver necklet wire which is a real favourite with our customers. With so many styles and types of gemstone beads to choose from that simply slide on to the wire, it is a very popular choice for creating effective and delicate necklaces, to see our full range of gemstone beads click here.
We used our best-selling popular paua shell tapered bead set to create this eye-catching and on-trend necklace.
Step by step instructions
Use side cutters to cut your desired length of flex rite wire.
Start by threading the beads onto the wire, using sterling silver beads as spacer beads in between each paua bead.
To finish your necklace, add a crimp with loop to either end of the wire and squeeze gently with snipe or flat nose jewellery pliers. Open the bolt ring and add to one of the loops. Fasten the necklace and your design is complete!
