How to Make a Beaded Bar Necklace | Jewelry 101

[@tamaraadams9317]

Nicely done. If I can make a suggestion. I found it difficult to see what you’re doing because of the light background color. Maybe using a darker colored background would make it easier to see the process of making the looped ends. Very pretty necklaces though. ☺️♥️

[@mariabooth8104]

These are really easy to make. I just made 9 of them in no time at all. Thanks for the tutorial and keep them coming please.

[@carolcain1538]

I absolutely love all of your videos. You are so easy to understand. You don't make it overwhelming and intimidating. I'm so excited to get started. My mind is spinning with all my ideas. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

[@lizlloyd4228]

I've made some bar necklaces already and it's always really interesting to see how other jewellers make theirs. I LOVE the lapis you've used and the other gemstones are so beautiful - you make such delicate, feminine pieces! Really enjoying your tutorials. :)

[@miscalotastuff733]

Also try czech beads. They have some amazing finishes and designs.

[@tehreemismail2071]

Awesome,like always!!! It really boost my spirits up whenever I watch a video from you that I can also be able to create something. Thanks dear!

These are really easy to make I've used several different colours and one made up of all the chakra colours

[@jenniferbellemarekent9133]

I absolutely adore the cadence of your voice along your head choices, tips & experience. I really do. I also do have some trouble seeing little things. Some closer video of wrapping twice then tucking... Oh how nice that would be. Showing the table, most of you, the other possible implements, friendly attire just isn't too helpful with the jewelry creation in progress. I say with all love and eagerness to learn properly. 🙊

[@tehreemismail2071]

Very cute! I love bar necklaces

Hi Jewelschool do you use dead soft wire? Do you have a video explaining the dead-soft wire and hard-soft wire for different types of earrings thanks & I really love the video, great details and explanation.

I’m trying to make make a bracelet by using small Sapphires on an opened bolo bracelet. Do I use this method too. It’s Sterling Silver? I love your videos ♥️🥰🙏

[@mariarosagiardini2869]

I don’t understand if you talk so kickly, but I understood the project and I’ll do it.,thank you.

[@sharonallen-pote4781]

What size beads did you use to make the long neck less you have on? I really like that one as well. I am going to make this for my daughter with her birthstone her husbands, 2 kids & 2 grand kids.

[@LindaKAdney]

Thanks for tutorial on this.. Your instructions are always so easy to follow...Where are the links to the chain you are using?

[@JewelSchool]

You can visit the links in the video description to find the products!

[@SophiaEuphia]

@@JewelSchool I keep trying the links and they’re not working on the site. Are the products no longer available or are there new links? I would love to order.

[@FriskyTendervittles]

Can you make these bars without the chain and attach later? Also, do you have a video on how and where to cut a chain?

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Diana! You sure can! Once you have made the loop with your round nose pliers, just continue with wrapping the wire around the base. Simply leave out the step of attaching the chain. If you want to attach a chain later, just be sure to get a couple of appropriately sized jump rings to attached it with. Sometimes (in fact, most of the time) the chain links themselves are able to be opened like a jump ring, which will make it easier to attach to the bar. Hope this helps!

[@FriskyTendervittles]

@@JewelSchool thank you! LOVE your channel!

[@filmandglobetrotting]

what kind of chain do you use? and what diameter width size?

[@JewelSchool]

This is a gold tone small cable chain. About a 2.3mm (.091in). You will want to look for a spool of it or fine one that is finished. Beadalon makes a 20ft spool that is pretty good. If you get unfinished just remember to get your clasps to attach to it.

[@nicoleclark3205]

or eyepins

[@jennyjackson9022]

Do you have more info ins video on this tray you are using?

[@JewelSchool]

This is a bead smith mat tray: www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Beadsmith-BEAD-MAT-TRAY-bmt17-bmt17?gclid=Cj0KCQjw3a2iBhCFARIsAD4jQB0rMVcBUoQqRpQ-agkwH51_gLfgg0e14LBhcKnJlZJeXRYdY0LwgyUaAq0EEALw_wcB

[@kellimccain253]

Can I do the same when connecting stones to an open Bolo bracelet? I bought the bracelet with each end not connected to the center. I’m trying to use my small Sapphires to create a complete bracelet.

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Kelli! We don't see why not! if you have a starter bolo bracelet chain, you can create the bar with you sapphires as Susan does in the video, then you will need to cut your bolo chain in half at the top and attach a link on each side of the bar. Voila! You have a beaded bar bolo bracelet! Good Luck!

[@kerishaduncan301]

Can u still do this with the loop cutter instead of the pliers

[@JewelSchool]

You can create the little loop at the bottom with the One Step Looper! You will want to use a mandrel to create the larger curve of the ear wire! www.jtv.com/product/stepped-bail-making-pliers-makes-6-different-loop-sizes-9mm-8mm-6mm-5mm-3mm-and-2mm/JSKIT0925?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@gwenkelly1]

very good

[@raquelkela4694]

What kind of chain did you use? I use chain box but I don’t think I can cut it.

[@JewelSchool]

Hello! This is an 18 inch finished chain. You'll just need a chain with big enough links for the wire to fit through after you cut it. Here are some options for you! www.jtv.com/product/chain-set-of-19-in-assorted-styles-and-tones-24-with-lobster-style-clasp/JLW8011Q?mcid=XSOjsyt

[@shirleykyees8417]

What size is the chain? 1.5mm? 2mm?

[@gshighsmith]

Susan, hi! Just found your KZbin page. Thank you for sharing with us new jewelers! Question about the bar necklace: If you can only use 26 gauge wire because the hole in the beads are so small, is there a way to reinforce the bar to make it stronger so it will not bend? I saw your wire wrapped ring video where you had to use the smaller gauge and you just wrapped it to a larger gauge and hid the small wire underneath the wraps. Is there a way to do that with the bar necklace? Thanks in advance!

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Gail! Let's dive in! As far as making the 26ga wire stronger, when you make the loop after stringing your beads on, that should help to create a bit of tension, so the wire is less likely to bend. It might over time, but you can just straighten it back out with your fingers. If you hammer it before to work harden, you run the risk of flattening it out and your beads won't fit. You can try using a nylon jaw plier before putting on your beads. This will help straighten the wire, plus it should harden it a little more. As far using a smaller gauge wire, you can add that to the ends to help reinforce it. However, you can just wrap the 26ga wire a few more times as well. Really, it's up to you!

[@gshighsmith]

@@JewelSchool OK, thank you so much!

[@karenhankerson330]

The necklace is very pretty. What would i to make a bar bracelet and earrings? What gauge wire and style of chain?🤗😎

[@wendyannh]

She answered the question about gauge at the start of the video. The chain style is entirely up to you.

[@marystoddard9138]

wendyannh wouldn’t it been just as easy to say 24gauge and your choice of chain? Your answer took more words and was rude!

[@juanbluestack2138]

@@marystoddard9138 i dont find the comment rude at all, some people deserve to be called out when they didnt pay attention and asking things that are already adressed clearly in the video.
