How to make a crystal necklace?

Step1: Make the first circle of the crystal necklace

Cut out a 10cm long nylon wire, unfold it and string 3 transparent Bicone Czech Glass Beads at the center, then cross through another transparent one and tighten the wire at last.

Step2: Make the second circle of the crystal necklace

In this part, the whole circle can be divided into two groups:

Group1: pink Abacus Glass Bead*2, blue Abacus Glass Bead*1, transparent Bicone Czech Glass Bead*1

Group2: pink Abacus Glass Bead*2, transparent Bicone Czech Glass Bead*1, Opaque 8/0 Glass Seed Bead*1

As the picture shows, the two groups are overlapping in making a bead necklace.

The regular beading method is: add beads on one tip, and then pass the both tips through another bead. When come across the last group-the group2, just thread the wire through the two pink Abacus Glass Beads and cross through an extra transparent Bicone Czech Glass Bead.

Step3: Make the last circle of the crystal necklace

The situation is as same as that in step2, i.e. it is also comprised of two beads groups:

Group1: pink Abacus Glass Bead*2, transparent Bicone Czech Glass Bead*1, Silver Lined 8/0 Glass Seed Bead*3

Group2: pink Abacus Glass Bead*2, transparent Bicone Czech Glass Bead*1, blue Abacus Glass Bead*1, Silver Lined 8/0 Glass Seed Bead*1

The grouping rule and regular of the shared beads can just refer to the above step for the second circle of the beaded crystal necklace.

But pay attention, the big surprise I state at the beginning of this article have appeared, take a look at the semi-finished product:

What does it look like?

In case you like the heart, just stop here; but if not, just continue assembling the two groups to an entire square shape pendant.

Step4: Apply the chain for a complete crystal necklace

Open the jumpring, and then apply the chain!

Like it? Furthermore, in this tutorial, I adopt the nylon wire as the main string material, so the square shape of the crystal necklace is not as obviously and regular as imagine. To solve this problem, you may try replacing it with the 0.2mm tiger wire for your beaded crystal necklace. In all, any suggestions are warmly welcomed here!
