You don’t need to use metal findings aside from your clasp or jump ring (also called “findings”)- you just a need a short piece of FRENCH WIRE which is a tightly coiled tube of ultra fine wire. 

You could omit the French wire if you wanted to, if you were making a quick, trendy necklace for yourself and didn’t want to buy a whole pack of FW. But if you are working with precious stones and metal, or making something to gift or sell, I’d absolutely go the FW route.

For an 18” necklace, I cut a length of silk at 54” long, then fold in half with a beading needle at the center point. Then string on my beads!

Towards the end, instead of pulling the entire length of the necklace through the loop of thread, I go from the back!  This piece is knotted on wine colored thread and will be finished with a chunky bolt clasp. Perfect length to be worn long and so many combinations for layering!
