The Akoya pearl is the most popular kind of pearl used to design this type of necklace with. More than likely, your grandmother will have a single strand of pearls made from Akoya pearls. Akoya pearls are white and round. They are pearls grown in saltwater and are well known for their round shape. Being a cultured pearl, an irritant is placed inside the Akoya oyster to facilitate or speed up the nacre producing process which ultimately ends up in making a beautiful pearl. If you want your fireball pearl necklace to look more elegant, then have it designed with Akoya pearls.

There are also pearls grown in freshwater that most types of pearl jewelry are designed with. Freshwater pearls grow in freshwater streams, have a thick nacre, and have a shiny luster. Although freshwater pearls are less expensive than Akoya pearls, they are just as pretty. When trying to strike a balance between price and style, have your fireball pearl necklace designed with freshwater pearls.

The most affordable pearls manufactured with the highest quality are Swarovski pearls. These pearls are made from Swarovski crystal.

How to Make A Fireball Pearl Necklace

The fireball pearl necklace is becoming one of the most popular bridal necklaces that brides are purchasing from jewelry stores as well as bridal gown stores. The affordable price matched with the ivory/white color of the pearls coupled together with the shine and sparkle of the cz fireballs create the perfect finishing touch of a bride’s attire that will have everyone staring and drooling at how beautiful the bride looks. If you are a bride who is operating on a very small, limited wedding budget, then you can learn to make your very own fireball pearl necklace. The quality may not turn out as well as if you had a professional jewelry designer to design one, but the appearance will be just as beautiful. Read this article to learn how to make a fireball pearl necklace.

First you will need to go to your local craft store and purchase the necessary tools to design your fireball pearl necklace. All the tools fall into one category: pliers. You will need steel cutting pliers made specifically for jewelry, crimping pliers, and possibly a pearl reamer. These are just the basic tools that you will need and can be purchased at your closest craft store. If you’d like to buy high quality jewelry designing tools, there are a number of websites to visit including Fire Mountain Gems. Next we can move on to the actual supplies that make up the fireball pearl necklace.

You will need to buy thirty 10mm pearls. These pearls can also be purchased at the craft store, however, higher quality pearls need to be purchased online. If you are making your own fireball pearl necklace, then you probably don’t care much for the quality of the pearl, just the appearance. The pearls can be in any color you like, but I recommend that you pick a shade or variation of white, cream, ivory, or cream rose. This ensures that your fireball pearl necklace will compliment the color of your wedding dress most effectively. If you’d prefer smaller pearls, then 8mm pearls are great, but I wouldn’t go any smaller than that. Next you will need the beading wire which would preferably be .019 in. in diameter and 49 strands. This ensures that your fireball pearl necklace doesn’t break underneath the larger pearls and the rest of the attachments. Next you will need to pick up a pack of sterling silver crimp ends and one hoop and one lobster claw. The hoop and lobster claw need to be around the same size as the pearls, maybe a tad smaller. The last things you will need are crimp covers to cover up your crimps, the cz fireballs, and one larger cz fireball.

Now the moment you have been waiting for: the design! Cut your beading wire to a desired length and attach a crimp to one end of the wire. Bring the other end through and secure the crimp, placing a crimp cover over the top of it. Slide three pearls on the wire and then slide a fireball after the three pearls. Repeat this step twice more. Then only slide on two pearls and one fireball. Now slide one pearl and a large fireball and one pearl after that. One side of the fireball pearl necklace is complete. All you have to do it repeat all those steps, attach the hoop end and lobster claw clasp, and you will be done!
