Stone Jewelry Making - Build Your Own Statement Necklace

Building your own necklace can be rewarding, and

sometimes worthwhile and amusing. Turquoise is

naturally one of my favorite materials to work with.

Jewelry making out of such kind of stones can be

tailored to your taste as well as any trendy

stylishness.

How to build the turquoise necklace?

Step 1: Create the focal beaded strand

1st, cut a 40cm long piece of wire, pass through the

jumpring and pull the two ends to be equal;

2nd, slide a crimp bead. Push up and clamp near the

jumpring;

3rd, string five selected turquoise beads;

4th, orderly add a crimp bead and a jumpring on the

other end. Take the wire to go back through the

crimp bead, pull the wire snugly and squeeze the

crimp bead. Trim off the excess wire and that’s the

focal stone part.

This tutorial on building your own necklace features a stone, the very trendy turquoise bead, plus two

types of anti-bronze chain, tiger tail wire and two lobster claw clasps. Super easy and fun!
