We love this Crystal Bar Necklace project. It requires only a few materials, a couple wrapped loops, and a clasp. And voila – you have a necklace that’s super wearable! It’s so fast and easy, whip up a few in different colors to go with everything!
Jennifer wears her red one the most. Kitty’s blue AB Crystal Bar Necklace is her go-to. Let us know what color you’d make in the comments!
Cheers,

How To Make A Crystal Bar Necklace
Materials
16 faceted crystal rondelles, 2mmx3mm
24 gauge silver* wire
2 lengths of silver chain, 10″ each
Two-part clasp, silver
2 jump rings, silver-plate
*Of course, you can use silver or silver-plate for this project. Or gold if you like. Your choice!
Tools
Wire cutters
Round-nose pliers
Chain-nose pliers
Steps
1. Cut a 3″ piece of wire. Start a wrapped loop in one end and slide on a piece of chain. (Want to see how to make wrapped loops? Click here.) Finish the wrapped loop.
2. Slide the crystals onto the wire.
3. Start a wrapped loop in one end and slide on the other piece of chain. Finish the wrapped loop.
4. Try on the necklace before you add the clasp. Snip off any excess chain in order to make the necklace the perfect length for you.
5. Use the chain-nose pliers and the round-nose pliers to open a jump ring. Slide one half of the two-part clasp and one end of the chain onto the jump ring. Close the jump ring. (Here’s a refresher on how to open and close a jump ring to put a clasp on a chain.) Repeat to attach the other half of the clasp to the other end of the chain to complete your Crystal Bar Necklace.
We love getting pinned!

Great article!
I’m really happy that there’s a growing interest in crystals and their amazing potential in many different aspects of life. Since being introduced to crystals I have been studying them and becoming an avid collector of them.
