Jewelry-making Tutorial: How to Make a Floating Illusion Necklace

Written by Jewelry on May 29, 2010

This character of necklace is the single of my comprehensive favorites. So elementary as well as elegant! The beads upon the necklace demeanour as if they have been “floating” since the handle is tough to see. Crimp beads have been used as “stoppers” so the floating beads will stay in place. we was initial introduced to this necklace character by this website: www.beadage.net Thank you, Emma! Materials list: – Beading house (if we do not have the single of these afterwards the woman monarch would be sufficient) – Beading handle (I used Accu-flex .019″ size) – Crimp beads (I used twenty-four 1.5mm round) – Crimp covers (I used 3mm) – Some beads (I used eleven 8mm beads) – Clasp (I used the tub clasp) – Wire cutters – Crimping pliers (or flat-nose pliers) Sources for materials: Beading wire, tighten beads, tighten covers, as well as beads have been from www.firemountain.com. Clasp from http Disclaimer: All products used in this video was purchased by me. we am not dependent with any companies.

    @redfindz Great tips! And I’m glad you liked the video! I am hoping to be filming some soon. I think I might have a camera that has video capabilities. ;)

    The beading wire I used is Accu-flex .019″. I purchased this beading wire from Fire Mountain Gems. The item number is H20-2512BS. I hope this answers your question. If you have any more please don’t hesitate to ask! :D

    What gauge wire do you use for this necklace? Great video. Easy to follow. Thanks.
    You can also find these trays in packs of 2 or 3 at craft stores like Michael’s. Usually can find them by the craft paints.

    The dish I use is called and a Beading Porcelain Tray and was purchased from Fire Mountain Gems. They come in a set of three. The item number is H20-1211PK. An alternative would be a watercolor plastic palette – those are quite easy to find!

    Very good video…right speed, in focus, pretty much completely “on screen” as opposed to others that make the item half out of visiblity. Good job!

    See, I’m old–the former comment should read “due to age”.

    I’m a 77-year old woman. I’m smart but, dut to aging, slowing down. I find your tempo relaxing and encouraging. Good job.

    You just taught me something very important! I’ve read books where they say to string the wire (after attaching the clasp) back through several beads. This was always very difficult for me to do when attaching the second clasp. Now I don’t have to do that anymore! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for showing me YOUR way!
