Make This Copper & Pearl Necklace (Beginner Wire Tutorial)

This beginner-friendly wire jewellery tutorial shows you how to make a copper and pearl lariat style necklace from start to finish. This is a stylised or faux lariat design, making it easy to wear while still having the elegant look of a traditional lariat necklace.

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to:
• Straighten copper wire
• Make oval shaped jump rings
• Create single wrapped loops
• Create double wrapped loops
• Make a simple handmade copper toggle clasp
• Assemble a dangling pearl cluster focal
• Put together a complete, wearable necklace

This video is part of my beginner wire wrapping series, and from this point on in the series I’ll be demonstrating how to create simple jewellery pieces using essential wire techniques rather than focusing on individual findings alone.

This project is perfect for beginners who want to build confidence, learn foundational techniques, and start creating real jewellery pieces they can wear or gift.
