(Tutorial) Invisible Pearl Necklace (Video 25)

[@arleeneclark5650]

Very pretty. A lot easier & less expensive than using crimps to separate the beads Thank YOU!

[@randomnessblank9680]

Your video is a life saver! Struggled to make an invisible string of beads for a craft.

[@brookspa94]

THANK YOU for taking ur precious time to teach, video tape, & share with us ALL, how to make this beautiful necklace! I/we GREATLY APPRECIATE your time & effort.

Lovely necklace and i just tried it out. What i found best to make it 'less of a challenge' in the end is that i left the 'closure' end of the 4 beaded lines a bit longer. This made life much easier to string on the closing clampshell and crimp bead. Then i just cut off the 'extra bit' once i locked in place the 4 ending beads and crimped the crimp bead before closing up the clampshell. Hope this helps other too ;) and thanks Ruby, such lovely work!!

[@RubyMLockwood]

Ty so much...and I should of left them longer...I realized that once I was at the end and it was a challenge...again ty...:)))) Happy Beading :)

[@carmengonzalezfrompuertori2338]

I m,ade this neckalce for my niece wedding. Now my aunt has it because she fell in love with it. Thank you for such a great tutorial. One of these days I will make another one for me. I love, love that nacklace, I was outstunnig in my turquoise dress. Thank you so much.

[@constanceetling9822]

as always just beautiful....wish I had seen this in April before I had all those floating Mother's Day necklaces to do and use all those crimps...this way is brilliant....THANKS for sharing....Happy Beading

[@shellydouglas8832]

Thanks for sharing! I'm a "Newbie" in the world of jewelry crafts so your tutorial inspired me to work with stringing beads! I am working with polymer clay making a variety of pieces that I can use this technique with!

[@loulabelleparsnips4127]

Wonderful, but couldn't see too much. I learned enough, however to make this lovely thing so thank you Ruby for giving of yr time!

[@kutlukutti]

My small suggestions if you have extra fishing line at the end of necklace it would be easy to use crimp bead and crimp bead cover then u can trim the extras

[@amandajones6481]

Hi Ruby, I'm so glad that I found your channel. I've been looking everywhere for a tutorial on 'How to Make an Illusion Necklace with Monofilament' and yours is the first real monofilament necklace video that I've found! So thank you Ruby. This is great.

[@SparkleByMonica]

I've made a few of these and they are very pretty. Thanks so much for the idea. I've adapted this with a single version minus the chain so I could teach a group of little girls. Turned out very nice and they liked their necklaces because they couldn't see the monofilament cord. lol. Great job!

[@jeffo1110]

Ruby - most illusion designs require you to crimp each and every bead in place, thus requiring far more supplies and I think time. This is brilliant AND beautiful! Love those crystals! Once again: Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent, not to mention designs. I've learned a lot from you and really appreciate all you do. Jodi (Using hubby's KZbin account!)P.S. I love your sense of humor too!

[@reginamcglohon3678]

OMG! First time I have seen this done and will be working with my grandchildren to make some gifts! Thank you!

[@dominofalling2038]

This design is fabulous, thank you so much for the tutorial. I have been making these floating necklaces for friends as gifts and they love them. Again, thank you.

[@lt6988]

Ruby, I am speechless! I had in mind for long time to make the floating necklace, but could not find the decent way to make it. I actually do not like to use crimp beads at every bead on the floating necklace, it does not look neat for me. But your project, your video made my day once I saw it. Thank you very much for sharing. Now I am all set for my project.

[@RubyMLockwood]

Wonderful!

[@lanellgolden3967]

Ruby thank you so much .I'm new at bead work. am just learning as I go. I have tried to make this necklaces. but couldn't figure out to-do it I enjoyed the video. Thank You again keep up the good work.

Oh my gosh. You need to show off your finished piece more. . . especially in the first few frames of the video, to get us all pumped up and excited. And then at the end so we can admire it. Maybe you could tack on some shots to the front and end of this and re-post?? Love the necklace!

Ruby Lockwood It's been over a year and now finally getting around to try and recreate this. Do you have a Facebook like page? I would love to show this online and point it out who inspired me to make it on jewelers.community. I still get a big chuckle of when you said, "hang on to it for dear life..." LOL

[@MrFaithfulyaya]

This was awesome. This necklace will make great gifts. Can you show a video on how to crimp with in to make the same style on two strands? Thank you for the lovely ideas.

[@jacinthabenjamin3942]

Very beautiful necklace. I always wanted one like this. u made it look so easy. thank u. do you have any tutorial for a matching earings please??

Hi loved the necklace....i intend to make it ....but disappointed a little with tutorial as on parts couldn't see because out of view also hands where in the way....i do understand it is differcult to show everything....so i will have to guess some parts...otherwise just love it,,,,,keep up the good work.......so pretty....Teggie

[@RubyMLockwood]

Yes I am very sorry for this...:((

[@paulaharrison591]

hi Ruby...can you please tell me the mm on the clamshell bead overs you used?

[@valeriekushner5003]

What am I doing wrong, my crimp bead cuts the wire. It breaks after wearing one time, always at the crimp bead.

[@fun2funnies123]

Only issue, you put the camera in focus, only was not focused where it had to be. So we literally saw nothing, only assumed what was happening

[@hopeestrada5405]

on the invisable necklace how many beads do you need appx

[@sylviahall5667]

Hi Ruby was watching the tutorial with the o beads but because your dog was playing heck my Siamese cat was panicking so will watch later

[@lucawren3338]

My mom would love one of these! I think I might make one. Thanks.

[@ebsmites7544]

thanks very much for showing this i'm in the process of making a string of colored pearls for a friend of mine and this might be just the thing i'm looking for. it wont take up as many beads and will look twice a better with fishing line cause its just about invisible. edit: just waiting for all my supplies to arrive that ive ordered online

[@sallypaluh3598]

Where do you buy your chain and chain extenders from?

[@SuperWigMaker]

Hm... what if it slides though, I mean it is not kept with a knot or anything, just the tension you put into the fishing line when you pulled it tight thus it created a crease at that point which is enough to keep it, what about long term usage, won't the thread kinda revert into a more straighter and loser shape thus the beads will start collapsing due to gravity?

[@RubyMLockwood]

So far mine has not done that...and I don't believe it will because I don't wear the necklace day and night only on occasion or when I wear that color...I did make this for an entire wedding party some time ago and to this day they are still in perfect condition...I store all my jewelry in containers covered with a little plastic baggy to prevent it from discoloring or like you said losing shape.....Lots of ppl hang there necklaces up on hooks...the majority of jewelry we make is costume jewelry and its not meant to last forever...lol...all threads no matter what we use will stretch overtime...:))

[@echoandmeaservicedogslife3300]

hi Ruby love your necklace I didn't hear on the video did you use all the same length on all the strands or did you use different links you know like 20 inches on 1 19 inches on 1 18 inches on one or did you use all the same length for all of them thank you for all your wonderful tutorials hope you have a wonderful Christmas

[@nasrinsultanapromi7219]

Would u please do a beads curtain tutorial? It would be a great help.. Please..

[@pangaeus]

What I don't understand is how the beads are staying in place at around 10:10.

[@arieldugger7803]

So I was making a necklace and while watching your video I decided to do floating beads well I came to a bump on the road I have a big oval bead that works great but I have big Pearl's that is giving me a headache once I lock them in place the wire pops out in the back how do i get it to snuggle the pearl the way it does the bead?

[@beverlyelliott1100]

I love your jewelry!

[@DebraRobertslivinghi57]

Beautifully done. Enjoyed it Thanks

[@carriemartin7291]

Love this easy tutorial! I have a question though, I am trying to make this necklace and can't keep the string from curling. I've even straightened it with my flatiron but as I add beads it starts getting curly again.

[@RubyMLockwood]

I have never had that problem with it curling...however with the weight of the beads it should lay flat as mine has done...its still a bit curly but nothing overwhelming...might be if you used heat on it will cause it to curl more or worse...try doing without using heat on the line...I used fishing line which comes on a big roll so its not too curly...:)) Hope that helps :)) Happy Beading

[@kathrynmatamala1492]

How long is the chain on both sides of the necklace ?

[@catalot]

Love. I'm afraid my crimp will slip...what do you do to be reasonably sure it won't, aside from doing the crimp as tightly as possible? Do you choose not to use crimping pliers for this reason, or is that just a personal choice? Thanks so much.

[@RubyMLockwood]

Everytime I use crimps they never work properly for me and my string pulls out...if I use my pliers I have yet to have a crimp break or thread pull out...if you don't have the exact crimpers for the exact bead it don't work..and I never have the right matching ones lol...or just too expensive to buy all the different sizes..:))

[@catalot]

Ruby Lockwood Thanks so much! I just made an invisible necklace with pearls using crimps to hold the beads in place instead of looping back through as you did...had some crimps slip. Necklace isn't exactly invisible anyway since crimps show...not a look I really like! But doing the crimps for the ends is just as important. I'm going to try your way. :)

[@SunitaSharma-dx1sg]

From where you bought these weeds ?

[@israelirachel]

thank you for this beautiful necklace project.

[@mommy1157]

I love this necklace, it's so beautiful and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and creation with us. It would be helpful if you could be more mindful to having your hands in camera view when you are doing each step.

can u also upload a link or a video to how you made the earrings thanks

[@martymccrary9940]

Hi, Ruby, I love this necklace! I realize this tutorial is a couple of years old, but i was hoping you could share where to find the clam shell crimp bead covers. Thank you

[@RubyMLockwood]

+Marty McCrary I actually got them from Ebay some years ago :))

[@martymccrary9940]

+Ruby Lockwood Thank you so much for getting back with me. Over the weekend I found them on Etsy!! Thanks again for all your wonderful tutorials!

[@jeantaylor2308]

Beadaholic is a good place to buy jewelry pieces online.

[@Morna777]

I wonder if this technique would work with flat beads. I'm working on a "falling leaves" necklace for fall (it's early October at the time I posted this) and the invisible wire would make the leaves look like they've been frozen in the act of drifting down from the tree. Only one way to find out: I must try it! Even if it didn't work, the green one would be perfect for the holidays in a few months.

[@yomama8873]

Lovely 🤩🤩🤩💖💖

[@christymartin4636]

Is it possible for you to show us the most important parts (how to do the clam shells and jump rings) on camera? The easy part is shown, but the harder parts, probably the most important, are done off camera? Beautiful necklace, but off camera is very difficult learn. Thank you in advance.

[@rhiannonrowe1045]

My fishing line got very curly when stringing the beads. How do I prevent this?

[@lakshmidurga3088]

Is this fishing wire?

[@wte4085]

Which is more flexible: Fishing line or invisible cords?

where do I find chain plz reply

[@RubyMLockwood]

You can get this chain in many places...honestly I don't remember but try Beadaholique...they do sell alot of chain hun

[@florencekho3574]

Ruby, you can just use a lighter heat up the four ends slightly, this will let the strings go through the loop at once easily. Just my opinion, I saw my grand did this while she was weaving.
