I know this was a long time ago and you probably won’t see it but I really appreciate the video. I have accumulated a ton of vintage beads and costume jewelry and have been very beginner style working on creating some new out of old. These kids of specific tutorials with really awesome video are helpful and I appreciate it scraps
I have been watching a lot of these videos and wanted to tell you that you have done a great job explaining the steps necessary and the video photography is great. Thank you for the video!
Before you issued the challenge I was thinking I would use 3 or 5 black beads and then three or five white beads, alternating around the necklace in a color block fashion.
What kind of wire is this? I got "jewelry wire" but was confused by all the gauge choices. I picked 20 gauge at a guess, but it's too stiff to do some of this.
Hi Abby!! Great video. I always learn from you. I have a request. Could you please do a video on how to make a set of "bubble" jewelery?! Necklace, bracelet and earrings. That would be awesome!! Thank you. ☯️☮️💜✌️🙏🌫️
This was so helpful. Thank you!!! Did I miss it our can you tell me what was the gauge of your jewelers wire? I want to use a pure copper wire because it is a protective energy conductor. Thanks so much!!!
Hi there! The wire that we used in this project is Medium Soft Flex which is .019". It's a stainless steel nylon coated jewelry wire which is designed to be flexible and strong. I don't believe you'll have a good end result using solid copper wire for this project.
What gauge wire should I use? I am just getting started. Will be making my very first necklace. Can you please tell me what type of striging wire and climp beads and other stuff I need to buy to get started?
Help! I use memory wire but I find it hard to shape it into a necklace shape, then I feel elastic isn’t strong enough sometimes i cut some wire and use it as a bar necklace then add a chain...
That really depends on your materials and your market. Check out some craft fairs, boutiques, and art fairs in your area if you plan on selling locally. Make sure you factor in your time and expertise.
Abbi Berta Hi Abbi I don’t string beads I do hand beaded wire links, can you tell me what the best way is to keep the pendants from spinning around back to front, front to back??? Any help would be awesome, Thanks Abbi 💜
There are a couple of different reasons why that could be happening. Usually the culprit is that the pendant is top heavy or that the chain is a bit too fine for the length of the necklace. Using heavier chains for longer necklaces is a good rule or thumb. Without seeing the materials you’re working with, those are just my guesses. Feel free to send pics of what you’re using to The Bead Place’s FB page and we can maybe help you troubleshoot.

I would use the black lava beads with that first set of pendants. So cute!!!!!
Black lava beads would be my choice
black lava - is really the best option it makes the druzy pop.
+Joanna DelBuono it really does!
I agree
thanks for the tutorial! Would be nice though to see the whole finished necklace with the chain
You did a wonderful job teaching how to do this. So appreciated and inspiring!
That crimper is awesome!
I agree! It’s the only crimper I use!
@@AbbiBerta where can I get that crimper?
It’s linked above in the video description. 😊
I love the black lava beads! Very elegant :)
They’re a great look! Thanks for watching!
Black lava beads would be my choice as I am trying to go for an aromatherapy niche with my jewelry.
I personally like the white beads...a combination of both might look nice also.
Great idea!

Great video, excellent instructions, beautiful necklace.. love it❤️
+Nabila Riskalla thank you so much!
Black lava, makes the gold pendant stand out.
I personally like the combination of both the beads. Mary
That would be neat!
I would use them both--two white, then one black, then two white, etc.
Love the necklaces.
Can you please let me know what size of bead stringing wire you used for this necklace? I'm new at this. Thanks.
Nice thanks soooo much for tha share
Thanks for watching!
BlackLava
Lava beads
I would use the black
Thank this video was so helpful!
Thanks! Glad you think so!
Thank you so much for your tutorial! One question, what’s the wire you are using ?
i would use a mixed pattern with majority lava stone and a few white beads (not many at all) spaced strategically.
I love watching jewelry videos on UA-cam but I have a question ❓ is u giving away jewelry kits?
New sub here. Thank you for this video...your necklace was beautiful
That was a great tutorial!
I love the black lava beads!!!
I’ll be in this weekend to pick up the kit!!! Luv ur videos!!!!
Thank you!
Black Lava here 👀
+Rebelle Show good choice!
Loved the video & would like to know all tools,string & wire that was used.
The light green
I would use both.
Why not mix the 2 stone Beads together. White and black. ??
Just a thought..
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!

Thank you! I'm not familiar with bubble jewelry and when I try to search for it, a lot of different things come up. Could you link me to something?
What gauge wire did you use? My pendants often wear through the wire and break it.

Abbi Berta Thank you for that information. Then nylon coated stainless steel it is.
Great video. What size and brand of jewelry wire did you use? It seems very stiff and sturdy.
Thanks! We use Medium Soft Flex for this project. www.beadplace.net/apps/webstore/products/show/2956514
What gauge wire should I use?
I am just getting started. Will be making my very first necklace. Can you please tell me what type of striging wire and climp beads and other stuff I need to buy to get started?
what the name of the 2 pliers you use to close the jump ring in the beginning of video??
I can’t choose they look great
It was such a tough choice!
White
Black lava is better to me
Thank you~~
I'd attatch a clasp via a jump ring to the pendant so you could attatch it to either. 👍 (If I had to pick one, it'd be the black one.)
Great idea!
Help! I use memory wire but I find it hard to shape it into a necklace shape, then I feel elastic isn’t strong enough sometimes i cut some wire and use it as a bar necklace then add a chain...
What diameter is the jewelers wire? Great video!
It’s .019” Medium Soft Flex
🤩🤩💜
I would do the white...
Good pick! It’s definitely our most popular seller!
حلوة اوى
nice to meet you
+مسعد حميد thank you!
Black lava
+Sharon Bedford nice pick!
The white beads
How much should I be charging??
That really depends on your materials and your market. Check out some craft fairs, boutiques, and art fairs in your area if you plan on selling locally. Make sure you factor in your time and expertise.
The black lava beads
Both
+Coleen Taylor lol good idea!
nice
+مسعد حميد thanks!
Black
+Kathy Ryan good choice!
Thanks foryuo
+مسعد حميد 👍
I like the black lava beads with this pendant but I would use the White Beads. I'd choose the black in a different bead form.
Good thinking!
Mixture of both beads
Good idea!
Howlite
+Sharon Martin I think I need one of each because I can’t really choose.
