What Do I Need to Make a Pendant Necklace?

Making a pendant necklace is a great way to show off your personality and style. There are many different ways to make a pendant necklace, but What do you need to make one?

The first is, obviously, a pendant! You can find many different types of pendants at your local craft store or online. The other supplies you'll need are: chain, jump rings, and a clasp.

The length of chain you'll need will depend on the size of your pendant. Just make sure to get enough so that the pendant hangs in the middle of the chest. You can also buy chain by the foot if you want to save money.

What Materials are Used to Make a Necklace?

One of the most popular materials used to make necklaces is gold. It is a precious metal that is prized for its beauty and durability. It is often used in fine jewelry and can be crafted into a variety of necklace styles.

Silver is another popular material used for making necklaces. Like gold, silver is a precious metal with a beautiful lustrous finish. It is also quite strong, making it an ideal choice for delicate or intricate necklace designs.

Other metals such as copper and brass are sometimes used for creating more rustic or vintage-inspired necklaces.

Beads are another common element used in necklace design. They can be made from a wide range of materials including glass, stone, wood, plastic, and even metal.

What Type of Chain is Used for Pendants?

There are a variety of chain types that can be used for pendants, and the type of chain you choose will depend on your personal preferences and the look you are going for.

Some popular choices for chains include:

Ball Chains

These chains have small, round balls connected by links, and they can add a touch of whimsy to any pendant.

Cuban Link Chains

These thick, sturdy chains have interlocking links that give them a distinct look. They're perfect for statement pendants.

Rope Chains

As the name suggests, these chains resemble rope, and they can add a casual vibe to any outfit. 

Snake Chain

Snake chains are made up of small links that resemble scales, and they're a popular choice for delicate pendants.

How to Make a Pendant Necklace With a Stone 

Making a pendant necklace with a stone is simple and only requires a few supplies. 

You will need:

• A stone that you like (I used a rose quartz)
• A pendant setting (I chose a silver plated setting) 
• Super glue
• Jewelry pliers 

First, use the jewelry pliers to open up the jump ring on the pendant setting.

Then, place a small amount of super glue on the back of the stone and place it into the setting.

Use the jewelry pliers to close the jump ring again. And that's it! You now have a beautiful new necklace.

DIY Necklace Pendant Kit 

Making your own jewelry is a great way to save money and get exactly what you want. A necklace pendant kit is a perfect way to get started.

These kits provide everything you need to make a beautiful necklace, including the pendant, chain, clasps, and instructions.

Necklace pendant kits are available in a variety of styles and materials. You can find kits that include metal clay, polymer clay, wire wrapping, beading, and more. The possibilities are endless!

When choosing a kit, be sure to select one that includes materials that you are comfortable working with.

Most importantly, have fun! Making your own jewelry should be enjoyable so take your time and enjoy the process.
