    1.Measure out about 7 feet of size 3 Dragonthread. Leave about 6 inches at the end of the thread and tie a double knot. Use a big eye needle to pick up 3 Potomac pearls. Tie an overhand knot tight against the beads. You may find a beading awl helps out with this. Tie another knot.

    3.Create a pearl shortener with wire. Cut about 4 inches of 18ga wire. Bend the wire around something round like a large marker to form an S-hook. Bend the ends up towards the design.
    The Opera necklace is a versatile piece of jewelry that you can wear as a long necklace or a shorter choker style necklace. You can find all the materials needed to make this pearl necklace and so much more at PotomacBeads
