Wisteria Necklace

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 inspired by our earrings. A strand of mother-of-pearl beads with some beads in purple shades to recall the Wisteria flowers.

I hope you will like this jewelry!

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

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 bead strand. In this case, consider taking 2 mother-of-pearl threads.

To start, thread the 4mm round beads onto flat head pins and form loops of normal size. The loop made should measure about 3mm in diameter for a nice discreet look.

Next, thread 5 drop beads onto flat head pins. Make loops of the same size as the previous ones.

Then cut a transparent nylon thread about 30cm long.

Here we will start from the center of the necklace then build the beads symmetrically. This method allows adjusting the length and threading without having to remove everything if it doesn't suit you.

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

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

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

Finish threading with the remaining mother-of-pearl beads symmetrically.

Now we will connect the bead thread to the chains. Here I offer a simple and easy version to connect a bead strand to chains.

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

Thread a crimp bead onto the nylon thread, then pass the thread through the chain link.

Pass the thread back through the crimp bead then, with flat pliers, bring the bead to the edge of the chain link. Flatten the bead with the flat pliers.

Cut the excess thread at the edge of the bead.

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