How do you put a pendant on a beaded necklace?

Published in Jewelry Making 1 min read

To put a pendant on a beaded necklace, you'll typically use a jump ring to connect the pendant to the beaded strand. Here's how:

  1. Find the Middle: Locate the middle of your beaded necklace where you want the pendant to hang.

  2. Open a Jump Ring: Using jewelry pliers, gently open a jump ring. Avoid pulling the ring directly apart; instead, twist it open to maintain its shape.

  3. Attach the Pendant: Slide the open jump ring through the pendant's bail (the loop or opening at the top of the pendant).

  4. Attach to Necklace: Position the open jump ring at the middle of your necklace and slide it onto the necklace strand.

  5. Close the Jump Ring: Using your pliers, carefully close the jump ring, ensuring the ends meet snugly. Again, twist it closed instead of pulling. This prevents the ring from becoming misshapen and ensures a secure connection.
