Swarovski Double Strand and Teardrop Crystal Necklace Ideas
Double Strand Swarovski Crystal Necklaces
Create double strand Swarovski crystal necklaces for a fancier, more advanced necklace. Simply create the necklace just as you would a single strand necklace, but instead of creating one beaded strand, create two. Measure two strands of beading wire with approximately a 1 inch or more difference between the lengths. Create a single strand necklace with one length of beading wire,
Thomas Sabo Sterling Silver Letter W Charm with lobster clasp 0197, and then wrap and crimp one end of the remaining beading wire strand to a point on the finished necklace. Bead the second strand, and then wrap and crimp the other end of that beaded strand to the other side of the necklace to create a double strand necklace.
Teardrop Swarovski Crystal Necklaces
Teardrop necklaces contain tiny vertical strands hanging down from the center of them. Make a teardrop necklace by once again beginning with a standard single strand necklace. Measure 1 to 2 inches of beading wire and crimp one end of it to hold the beads in place. Bead Swarovski crystals onto the wire and then wrap the wire around the center of the single strand necklace and crimp it in place. Use an especially decorative Swarovski crystal for the base of your teardrop, such as a butterfly, heart, flower or cluster.
