Bead Stringing & Wire Necklace Beading Ideas, Page 3

Mountain Mist Necklace

I love being able to use up leftover beads to create a beautiful eclectic piece. I used gold beading wire to string green agate chips, green glass beads of different shapes and sizes, clear Swarovski bicones, and green metallic seed beads. This is one of my favorite brass clasps, so I had to have it […]

Marrakesh Express Necklace Set

An exotic necklace made of Hickoryite jasper, natural peach jade, red tiger eye, stick pearls and copper over pewter beads and clasp. The necklace is 21 inches long and the matching earrings have grey niobium ear wires. I was inspired by the Hickoryite jasper ovals and everything else fell into place.

Red Earth Pendant Necklace

Created using sterling silver wire work, exquisite burnt orange agate, fire agate and vintage sterling silver. The agate pendant is wrapped in sterling silver 20 gauge wire. The sterling silver beads are vintage from the 1960’s. The wire wrapped pendant measures 3 inches. Overall length is 20 inches.

Autumn Jade Necklace

Inspired by colorful, fragrant, crisp autumn leaves. Large slabs of rich yellow jade, small cream and brown round beads of jasper and oval white potato pearls capture the best of my favorite season! Wire-strung with sterling silver crimps and crimp covers. Secured with a magnificent laced, long-oval sterling silver clasp.

Shell Necklace and Earrings

This necklace and earring set is made of curly shells, clam puff shells, and 6mm and 4mm green pearls. The findings are silver toggles, headpins and earwires.

Blue Crescent Necklace

Very simple and fun piece! I’ve used a tigertail wire base, with no clasps. Inexpensive materials include: blue ceramic disc beads in small and large, tiger eye beads, a dichroic glass pendant, and a few metallic seed beads! Make sure to make the initial strand very long! Good luck!

Seaside Rendezvous Necklace

I bought the very nice fossilized coral squares first and tried to make them fit with other bead combinations that just weren’t working. I went to a bead show and saw the African opal rondelles and amazonite beads that looked great together and thought of my pretty squares back home. I was delighted that they […]

Courage Under Fire Necklace

I used a combination of red coral chips and chunks with cube shaped, black onyx beads, spaced throughout with silver toned spacer beads. This necklace was strung on tiger tail wire. I liked the almost punky look of this piece and the combo of red and black. Finished with a sterling silver toggle clasp. 20″ […]

Green Aventurine Pendant Necklace

I have been creatively thinking about how to dress up a plain donut pendant for weeks now and this weekend I finally came up with something new that I really liked that I have not ever seen done anywhere. I got so excited I made 4 new pendant necklaces – spent my entire Sunday making […]

Orange And Blue Swirls Necklace

I wanted to create a piece with bold blues and oranges, a fun color combination I think. I tried a few different pendant ideas which either didn’t sit right on the neck or didn’t work well with the necklace before settling on the pendants in the picture. I used blue 18 gauge wire to create […]

Blue Agate And Labradorite Necklace

My inspiration for this necklace were these large 12x18mm blue agate beads. They are like a cool faceted barrel. I wanted the blue to stand out so I added the leaf-cut labradorite beads with the blue flash to match the blue in the agate. In between each labradorite are 2 glass beads and a clear […]

Angel Chakra Healing Necklace

This piece was made with tiger tail and semi-precious gemstone chips with a low nickel clasp, each colour relates to one of the chakras in the body (energy systems that affect our emotions, mental and physical energies). The crystals used help to balance and align these chakras to infuse you with health, peace and vitality […]

Terra Cotta & Turquoise Necklace

This necklace has a silver toggle that goes in front. Whenever I see someone wearing a necklace of this style, I always love the way it looks. This one consists of 4 mm terra cotta beads, turquoise stones, teal-colored “E” beads, short bugle beads in white, and silver wire coils I shaped with round-nose pliers. […]

Chunky Green Necklace

To get the sturdy shape of the necklace I used about 4 lengths of wire together and formed it into the shape of a horse shoe. Then I attached the clasp on each end. Starting from one end, with one strand of wire I threaded different beads (in the same colour group) on and twisted […]

Grass Koi Necklace

This necklace was made using Beadalon 49 strand flexible wire and was inspired by the idea of the lush green surroundings of a summer pond. The fish pendant is Hill Tribe Thai silver, and the beads are vintage West German Givre glass, Swarovski crystal, Delica seed beads, Czech glass, and celery colored freshwater pearls. The […]

Emerald Pearl And Torched Copper Necklace

This necklace is really easy to make. On beading wire I strung alternating emerald potato pearls with black seed beads. On each end I used a split ring and on one side is chain for adjustable length and on the other side is a hand made clasp using 20g silver wire. For the pendant I […]

Long Colours Necklace

This necklace is made from handmade rope and tassel, turquoise stones, pebblestones, shell, wood beads, and metal wire.

Fringe Galore Pendant Necklace

This pendant uses a 25 x 30mm snowflake obsidian cabochon. It is hand beaded with 1 row silver seed beads, 1/2 row of 2mm onyx beads, bali silver lace tubes going into 24 graduated/alternating rows of black glass triangle seed beads/gunmetal gray seed beads with matte glass black daggers/sterling daggers. Several loops of black seed […]

Green With Envy Necklace

This necklace is one of the most creative pieces that I have made so far. I bought the resin focal bead at my local bead store because I knew the color would be amazing with the Vintaj Brass. I used small brass chain and paired it with a chain made of seed beads in lime, […]

Moss Agate Circle Gemstone Beaded Necklace

This piece consists of a moss agate circle pendant, accented by a sterling silver flower charm, wire wrapped to a strand of watermelon tourmaline gemstones.
