How to make

Necklace 1

You start by cutting the pearl chain to the desired length where you want to place your shells, in this necklace we chose 2 shells but of course you can decide this yourself. Then you attach the shells to the chain using jum rings. Finally, you make a lobster clasp at one end of the pearl chain, and an extension chain at the other end of the pearl chain.

Necklace 2

This is a ready-made necklace, easy right! ;)

Necklace 3

You start by pinning a bead onto a piece of nylon wire, and then you bend a bead over that. Then you thread the beads onto the necklace, in this necklace a pattern was chosen. (15 seed beads - 1 gold delica - shell bead - 1 gold delica - 15 seed beads) You keep repeating this pattern until you have reached the desired length. Then finish this necklace again with a bead tip, and attach an extension chain and a lobster clasp to the ends. Finally, bend open a bail and hang the shell charm on it, then hang it on the chain and bend it closed again.
