Wedding Doves Necklace and Earring Tutorial

Created by: Rings & Things Staff

Designer Tips

This symmetrically designed necklace has a finished length of 17". For a different length, adjust the amount of beads, bead caps and stringing cable accordingly.
The necklace pictured was made with large 10mm, 12mm and 14mm "shell" pearls, which are no longer available. Please note: 6, 8 and 10mm Swarovski pearls are now listed below. This will give you a more petite necklace. (The bead caps listed work great on 10mm and smaller beads.)
