This week, I attempted to DIY a version of Stella McCartney’s fall 2015 Pearl Necklace. If you haven’t seen it before, it’s one of McCartney’s creations for the Fall 2015 collection shown during the Paris Fashion Week.
I didn’t have large white pearls so I used smaller beads with some 26 gauge wire. I cut off a desired length of wire before I started to thread in the beads. I believe McCartney’s necklace shown in the picture above is 2 necklaces but I decided to only create one long necklace and wrap it around to make that same effect.
After I have all the pearls/beads on the wire, I made a small loop at the end so I could put in the hook and jump ring.
This is a rather easy but time consuming (due to the beads) project. Once I finished, I could shape the necklace to however I liked. I tried my best to recreate that same shape but it came out a little different due to the size of the beads. When I find the right pearls, I’ll revisit this again.
But hopefully one day I could afford to purchase a real Stella McCartney piece.
Happy crafting!

What type of wire did you use? (what kind of metal?) It almost looks like memory wire. It doesn’t look like copper. Did the necklace hold the twisted shape pretty good?

Hi Sue, sorry for the late reply. I used a 26 gauge wire that’s meant for stringing. The necklace did hold the shape ok but it does seem a bit flimsy
