An ideal tutorial for beginners or experienced designers.

Beautiful creation!

You will need :
0.4mm brass wire Gilded with 24K fine gold approx. 1m50 Gemstone beads in various sizes, shapes and colours a clasp Gilded with 24K fine gold

Tools to be used :
flat-nose pliers round-nose pliers wire cutters

Assembly:

This creation is not very complicated to make, just follow the explanations below and the visuals to reproduce this model faithfully. Our video below shows you the basic technique used.

The advantages: this assembly is very solid, with no junction rings connecting the different elements. The coiled loops cannot open by themselves. The chain is fluid.

To begin, attach the clasp to one end of the brass wire and form a coiled loop..

Now start assembling the beads using the rosary chain technique.

Continue cutting until you reach the desired length. Here we've made a 40cm long choker to fall just above the collarbones. I advise you to measure the length of the chain at each stage. This will allow you to position the beads correctly according to their shape and shade, and also to adjust the length perfectly to your neck size.
