How to make a silver beaded necklace

It is quite a fun to design and make a silver beaded necklace by your own hand. The finish you have got is designed specially which fits into your taste. That means it is unique and personalizes. And in creating the jewelry, you can also be rewarded with a sense of accomplishment. Before you begin to assemble the silver beaded necklace you're hoping to make, picture its design in mind. Sketch the entire necklace as you expect it to be strung.
1. Pick a variety of beads to possibly include in the necklace. Select beads for the strand, silver beads, and silver findings. Lay out the beads on a black or white towel to keep them from slipping.
2. Try out with some appealing combinations. Note the value of contrast, in size and color and texture. Wood mixed with bone, lapis lazuli and sterling silver, or turquoise and pink coral all match well in beaded jewelry. Sparkly beads like austrian crystal or faceted amethyst go well with pearls or smaller dark opaque spacer beads. If you use pastel colored freshwater pearls, you may want to use antiqued silver instead of bright shiny silver, because they contrast better.
3. Remove the beads you don't need and lay out the beads in line with the sterling silver beads in the order they would be once strung.
4. Think up patterns for your jewelry design. Be wild and exceptional. Consider alternating beads, or alternating series of beads. You can even do an asymmetrical design for your beaded necklace, as long as it doesn't look too odd - just make sure the beads on each side weigh the same, or the necklace clasp will lean off-center.
5. Place your pendant where it will go and then consider what beads you want adjoining the pendant. Lay them out.
6. String your necklace, but don't fasten the clasp until you see how it looks strung. Sometimes even the most well-designed silver necklace will not look right when it's actually strung.
Follow the above steps. And you can create a special necklace by your own hand.
