DIY Necklace using Jade Beads – Tutorial

Step 1:

Make a small loop at one end of the beading wire.

Step 2:

We start sliding beads on to the wire… in a neat pattern.

Start by sliding gold spacer beads and a green crystal.

Followed by some wooden beads. Spacer beads in two sizes have been used throughout the necklace.

A big jade bead is slid.

Another jade bead within bead caps. Bead caps used in a necklace accentuate the bead and bring a distinction in the pattern.

Jade beads are predominantly used. The gold ball spacers are used to bring in a gold combination.

Step 3:

Close both ends of the beading wire by making a wire wrapped loop using round and flat nose pliers. Cut off the excess wire using a wire cutter.

Step 4:

A suitable clasp in then inserted at one end.

Step 5:

Jump ring is inserted in the other end of the wire.

Here is the completed jade necklace.
