Handmade Metal Jewelry- Making a Necklace with

Purple and White Colors

The pendant I made for this handmade metal jewelry

tutorial is quite like the Chinese traditional longevity locket

pattern; but my preliminary idea is to emphasize the

modern colors contrasts and display them on a classical

piece. Making a necklace has never been this simple!

Materials and tools:

1.5mm purple aluminum wire

0.3mm purple copper wire

10mm light purple glass pearl

8mm white glass pearls

Head pins

Iron chain

Round nose pliers

Flat nose pliers

Wire cutter

Instructions:

This handmade metal jewelry project presents to you a way about making a necklace with an elegant

mixture of purple and white colors.

Step 1: make clover units

1st, pick a piece of purple wire and make a loop at

center;

2nd, with round nose plier, respectively loop left

and right end;

3rd, cut off extra wire and in the same way make

another 3 units.

Step 2: assemble them into a

longevity locket pattern

1st, hook the clover units with each other;

2nd, pick a piece of copper wire, and fix one

end on a clover;

3rd, slide a bead on the wire and secure the

other end;

4th, do coiling over adjoining and overlapped

parts;

Step 3: finish the necklace

1st, prepare 5 glass pearl focals;

2nd, attach them to the 5 loops on the bottom part;

3rd, with a jump ring hang the pendant onto a piece of

chain;

The final look is like below:

The handmade metal jewelry is done! Also, when working

with wire, you should put safety first. When making the

necklace- I carelessly pricked the copper wire under my

thumb fingernail, and it really hurt! So be careful and

happy crafting!
