Collier Glycine

Symbol of love and complicity, Wisteria flowers are among the most beautiful climbing plants. They represent the bond of mutual friendship, using the support of their neighbors and enhancing them in return, trees, walls...

Here I imagined a creation based on our earrings. A string of mother-of-pearl beads with some beads in purple shades to echo the Wisteria flowers.

This piece of jewelry is not complicated to make. Follow the steps below carefully and proceed in the same order for a simple assembly!

The assembly:

I will give you the instructions for a 40cm choker necklace, but feel free to adjust the size to your liking by lengthening either the chains or the row of beads. In this case, remember to take 2 strands of mother-of-pearl.

To start, string the 4mm round beads onto flat head pins and form normal-sized loops. The loop made should measure about 3mm in diameter for a nice discreet finish.

Then string 5 drop beads onto flat head pins. Make loops of the same size as the previous ones.

Then cut a transparent nylon wire of about 30cm.

Here we will start from the center of the necklace and then string the beads in symmetry. This method allows you to adjust the length and stringing without having to remove everything if it doesn't suit you.

First, string a drop bead in the center, on each side place a mother-of-pearl bead.

String a 4mm bead on each side, then again a mother-of-pearl bead.

Continue like this until all the drop beads and 4mm beads are placed alternately with the mother-of-pearl.

Finish the stringing with the remaining mother-of-pearl beads in symmetry.

Now we will connect the bead wire to the chains. I propose here a simple and easy version to connect a string of beads to chains.

First, cut 2 pieces of chain of 10.5cm. Here for a 40cm necklace. Adjust the length if needed.

String a crimp bead onto the nylon wire, then pass the wire through the chain link.

Pass the wire through the crimp bead, then, with flat pliers, bring the bead to the edge of the chain link. Crimp the bead with the flat pliers.

Cut the excess wire at the edge of the bead.

For the other side, do as before, but before flattening the bead, make sure to keep some flexibility in the stringing of beads. Your necklace should remain fluid without stiffness between the beads.
