Necklace with Freshwater Pearls and Apatite Gemstones

Necklace of Freshwater Pearls and Apatite Gemstone

Wow!!! What a set! The combination of freshwater pearls and the deep blue color of the apatite gemstones go so well together. I layered several necklaces together here but of course you can combine them however you like or just wear 1 at a time. In terms of technique very easy, just threading on nylon wire and finishing with a lobster clasp and attaching a clasp to jasseron with a jumpring.

Necklace 1 - Apatite and Chain

Thread on the nylon wire alternately 2 miyuki delicas gold and then 1 raw apatite bead to a length of about 15cm. Then finish both sides of the wire with a pinch bead and calotte. This is one side of your necklace. For the other side, cut a piece of chain to an equal length. Attach the jasseron with a jumpring to the calotte of the strand of beads and a lobster clasp on the other side.

Necklace 2 - Freshwater pearls with charm

Also for this necklace, alternately thread a miyuki delica and then a freshwater pearl and finish the wire on both sides with a calotte. Attach a 5-10cm piece of chain on both sides at the calotte and finish with a lobster clasp. This way you can easily wear the necklace at different lengths.

Necklace 3 - Minimal necklace with connectors

Cut some pieces of thin chain and place some (glass) connectors between them with 4mm jump rings. Finish with a lobster clasp for a very stylish necklace. Here I made a rather long version but this style is nice for all lengths and even as a choker. We have many different glass charms to combine with so choose your favorite and make it your own.

Glue the gemstone caps to rock crystal with jewelry glue and let dry well. Using 4mm jump rings, attach them to the eye of the lobster clasp to create your charm. With 4mm jump rings, attach the ready-made chain to the clasp for a unique and stylish design.
