This necklace can be made in under 1-hour and features a magnetic claps.For this design, I used fresh water pearls that were dyed a very soft pink. Of course you can use any thing from glass beads to gemstones. To make the bracelet, just scale down the project to fit a wrist.
Supplies:
Beading wire
Bead board
18 fresh water pearls
36 size 1 tubular crimp beads
Magnetic clasp
2 size 3 crimp beads
Round nose jewelry pliers
Flat jewelry pliers
Crimping tool
Clasp findings
Steps:
Begin by cutting the beading wire into cut into three lengths: 25, 23 ½, and 22 inches. (add inches to make a longer necklace) Place the 25inch beading wire length in one of the bead board channels.
Thread on a crimp tube, then a pearl then a crimp tube. Repeat until there are 7 pearls and 14 crimp tubes on the wire.
Adjust the center pearl so that it lies at the “0” mark of the bead board. Use flat pliers to crimp the two crimp tubes on either side of it to secure it in the center of the wire. Slide the other pearls along the wire to their desired location. Secure by crimping the crimp tubes on either side of them, as you did for the center pearl.
Place the 23 ½ inch beading wire length in a smaller channel of the bead board channels. Thread on a crimp tube, then a pearl then a crimp tube. Repeat until there are 6 pearls and 12 crimp tubes on the wire.
Place the 23 ½ inch beading wire length in a smaller channel of the bead board channels. Thread on a crimp tube, then a pearl then a crimp tube. Repeat until there are 6 pearls and 12 crimp tubes on the wire.
Slide the pearls on the wire so that they fall in between the pearls on the first wire length. Secure by crimping the crimp tubes on either side of them, as you did for the first wire length.
Repeat these steps for the 22” length of beading wire with the last 5 pearls and 10 crimp tubes.
Repeat these steps for the 22” length of beading wire with the last 5 pearls and 10 crimp tubes.
To attach the clasp, thread one end of all three wire lengths through a size 3 crimp tube and through the loop of a magnetic clasp. Thread the wire ends back through the crimp tube. Crimp flat with the bottom portion of a crimping tool. Fold and crimp the tube by using the top portion of the crimping tool.
Trim the wires with jewelry cutter.
Keeping the wire lengths in the channels of the bead board so that the strands do not tangle, attach the other end of the magnetic clasp as you did the first end.
Underwater fashions rise to the occasion with elegant pearl bracelets and fun beach glass necklaces. The bracelets are made of magnetic pearls so no clasp is needed. Just wrap the 24" length of pearls around your wrist to wear.
PENDANT
Magnetic Pearl Bracelet Supplies:
Magnetic pearls
Gold spacer beads
Bead stringing wire
2 crimp beads
Flat nose pliers
1. Cut off a piece of bead stringing wire that is roughly 32” long. Begin by threading on a crimp bead and one pearl, sliding them down the wire only a small amount. Bring the shorter end of the wire (the end that is closest to the pearl) around the pearl and through the crimp bead. Slide the crimp bead up as close to the pearl as you can get it and flatten the crimp bead with flat nose pliers. This will leave you with a little piece of excess wire; when you string on the first two or so beads, tuck the excess wire into the holes of those beads.
2. Thread pearls onto the wire in a pattern you like. Add decorative gold spacers between some of the beads for extra sparkle. Note: Because magnets have positive and negative poles, your magnetic pearls may repel one another if they are strung up with the positive or negative sides aligned. If this happens, remove the topmost bead and string it back on upside-down.
3. Once the bracelet is around 24” long, finish it off in the same way as described in step 1.
4. To wear just wrap around your wrist - no clasps needed!

Flat-nosed jewelry pliers
Leather cord
1. Cut a long piece of wire. A few inches away from one end, twist the wire over to make a loop, and wrap the shorter end of the wire around the loop, leaving a short piece of excess wire sticking out.2. Wrap the rest of the wire around the glass in a freeform design. When you are happy with how your pendant looks, twist the two ends of the wire together using your fingers and round-nosed pliers. Clamp the wires with flat nosed pliers and tuck the ends into the back of the pendant to prevent the ends of the wires from rubbing against the skin.
3. Thread a piece of leather cord through the loop. You can tie the necklace on with a knot or add a clasp.
