Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Necklace
How to Draw a Great Looking Necklace for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by drawing the necklace's beaded chain. Draw a series of small, connected, irregular rounded shapes. The chain itself should resemble the letter "C." Each of these circular shapes represents a bead or pearl.

6. Draw short, straight lines from the double circle within the pendant to the valleys of the pendant's scalloped edge. This helps to define the scalloped texture and adds depth to the drawing.
Drawing Step 7
7. Draw another, smaller circle in the center of the pendant. Then, draw straight lines from this circle to the next largest circle. Notice that the lines form small triangle shapes. This forms the precious stone or gemstone at the center of the pendant, complete with the proper cut to make it sparkle.

8. Draw small circles within many of the pearls or beads, beginning at the pendant and working your way up. These circles indicate a shine or sparkle and help give the pearls a rounded appearance. Do something similar to the gemstone by drawing two rounded shapes of different sizes within its central circle. Finally, draw a short curved line parallel to each scalloped edge of the pendant, adding further texture.

9. Erase a few of the pearls at the top or back of the necklace. Connect the ends of the necklace using a short line; notice the jagged lobe to one side of the line. Then, enclose the middle of the line in an oval. This indicates the clasp used to fasten the necklace, to take it on and off.

Learn More About The Necklace Drawing
Necklaces are "one of the earliest types of adornment worn by humans." Prehistoric necklaces made of bones, shells, plants, and feathers have been found.
In ancient societies, necklaces had magical or religious meanings. Later, they came to be symbols of wealth and status, using precious metals such as gold and silver and rare gemstones.
The most important part of the necklace is the band or chain. Pendants or other decorative objects are attached to this band.
