Jewelry Making Tutorial: Sandi's Multi-Strand Necklace

This necklace is for Sandi, one of six moms who inspired our Mother's Day collections & projects. to see Sandi's Collection, click here.  

 

 

this necklace is composed of several strung segments of beadalon, gently twisted together & crimped off in caps to make it look like each strand is coming from the same place. we chose to feature iridescent blush & peach crystal, matte turquoise rounds, silver hematite, tiny opaque blue crystal, plus some silver accent beads. we finished the necklace with a shiny silver rolo chain, and a modest shiny silver lobster claw clasp. this necklace is sweet, sophisticated, & sassy.

as always, you're more than welcome to use this stack as a source of inspiration, a starting place, or as a step-by-step guide. to achieve this exact stack, string the materials listed below on your beadalon as just as the necklaces show. for a similar look, mix up the patterns from our stack, or add your own personal touch with extra strands or even a pop of color!
