Hello everyone! Jewelry making tutorial as usual! Today I’d like to share you a tutorial on how to make a pearl necklace and a pair of pearl earrings. When it refers to pearl jewelry, we always connect them with beautiful words like “elegant”, “graceful”, “noble”, and so on. There is no doubt that pearl accessories are timeless. So now, how about DIY a set of timeless accessories by ourselves?
Now let’s begin with the pearl bead earrings!
Jewelry making supplies you’ll need to make the pearl earrings:
– Measuring tape
– Two Earrings hooks
– Two 6mm jump rings
– Two 4mm jump rings
– Two Small rhinestone charms
– 3-in-1 jewelry pliers
– Small pearl beads
– Jewelry wire (24 gauge, or thin enough for pearl beads)
1. Measure and trim a 6-inch strand of wire, make a loop at one end with round nose pliers. Then add pearl beads until you reach about 2.75 inches. Cut extra wire, leave about 1/4 inch of wire and make a loop with it.
2. Open a 6mm jump ring, attach a rhinestone charm to it with a smaller jump ring, and thread both ends of the pearl strand to the 6mm jump ring. Then add an earring hook to the top of it.
3. Repeat to make another pearl earring.
Then, let’s make the pearl bead pendant necklace.
Materials needed:
– Chain (20-28 inches)
– One 4mm jump ring
– Three 6mm jump rings
– Rhinestone charm
– 3-in-1 jewelry pliers
– Small pearl beads
– Jewelry wire (24 Gauge)
1. Repeat the first two steps of previous procedures to make a pearl pendant. Of course you can make the pendant larger or smaller as you like.
2. Connect the pearl pendant to the chain with a 6mm jump ring and link both ends of the chain with another jump ring.
Here we got the pearl jewelry set:
