To begin with, we're going to make the necklace from natural stones.

To begin, cut a brass wire approximately 50cm long.

For greater ease in assembling and structuring the necklace, I recommend starting with the centre and then assembling each side at the same time. This will make it easier to adjust the number of beads and the rhythm of the beads with the gold washers.

Start by stringing the round natural stone beads, then add the gilded metal beads to create relief. Play with the shapes and order of the beads to create rhythm.

Continue until you reach the desired necklace length. Here I've made a 43cm necklace for a choker at about collarbone level. You can adjust this size to suit you and your shape. Don't forget that the extension chain will also make it easier to adjust the necklace to suit your outfit.

Then, once you've threaded it on, you can complete and secure the assembly.

Make loops at the ends with round-tipped pliers. Be careful to keep the beads flexible so as not to make the necklace too stiff.

Finally, place the clasp and extension chain.

Now we're going to make the chain necklace.

Cut a chain about 50cm long (length to be adjusted to your taste).

Place the largest pendant with a 3mm ring in the centre of the chain.

In symmetry, place small pendants with the spacing of your choice.

Finally, at the ends of the chain, fit the clasp and a piece of extension chain with 3mm rings.

And there you have it! Beautiful creation!
