Wire jewelry making project for making your own long pearl necklace and earrings using simple wire wrapped link techniques. The final pattern is super attractive!
Supplies needed for this wire jewelry making project: 8mm Acrylic Pearl Bead 6mm Acrylic Pear Bead Jumpring Lobster Claw Clasp Earring Hook 0.3mm Brass Wire (Silver or Gold) Chain Flat Nose Plier Side Cutting Plier Round Nose Plier
PART 1-NECKLACE Step 1: prepare an odd number of 10~11cm long chain segments, such as 11, 13 or 15.
Step 2: connect the chain strands using the wire wrap link technique. You can start by wrapping a messy loop firstly. Then, slide one 8mm pearl bead and another chain strand, make another messy loop. Keep on working more beaded links to combine the chain.
Step 3: When all the chains are connected by pearl links, lift the necklace to find the position where you will attach on the clasp and jumpring. In my case, I choose the two locations to make the necklace an uneven pattern. Attach on the clasp and jumpring at proper points.
There, you’ve finished the long necklace now!
PART 2-EARRINGS Step 1: make several 6mm pearl bead links. Step 2: assemble 5 pieces of them into a chain using small-sized jumprings. Step 3: string the 3 strands on another wire and create a loop with the wire. Step 4: thread another 8mm pearl bead on and then the earring hook. Loop the end. It’s often difficult to find matching sets of long pearl necklace and earrings. This wire jewelry making technique might just help you solve that problem! If you want to own the set, just have a try!
