In this article, we will be showing you how to make a beautiful gold-filled necklace with Swarovski crystals. This project is perfect for the beginner jewelry maker and only requires a few simple steps. So gather your supplies and let's get started!

Let’s Get Started!

To make a gold-filled necklace with Swarovski crystals, you will need the following supplies:
  1. Gold-filled beads
  2. Stringing wire
  3. Swarovski crystals
  4. Jump rings
  5. Crimp beads (#417 or #419)
  6. Chain nose pliers
  7. Cutter pliers
  8. Smasher pliers
  9. Round nose pliers
  10. Clasps
  11. Design board
Step 1: To start, lay out the beads and crystals in your desired pattern on the design board or another soft surface to avoid damage. 

Step 2: Cut the stringing wire or thread about 6” longer than your necklace length. 

Step 3: Next, pick up the beads and crystals one by one and start threading your stringing wire through the center until you are finished with all. 

Step 4: Once all of the beads are in place, use a pair of chain nose pliers to attach a jump ring to each end of the wire. 

Step 5: Finally, take your clasp and add it to one end of the wire. Then use round nose pliers to crimp the clasp in place. Do the same thing on the other end of the wire. 

And that's it! You've now created a beautiful gold-filled beads necklace with Swarovski crystals.

Some helpful tips -

  • When stringing the beads and crystals, make sure that you leave enough slack in the wire so that the necklace can be easily put on and taken off.
  • If you are finding it difficult to thread the wire through the beads and crystals, try using a needle to help make the process easier.
  • When attaching the jump rings, make sure that they are securely closed so that they don't come undone.
