Mother-Daughter Necklace Set

Here’s a mother-daughter jewelry set DIY tutorial that makes it easy to string a personalized necklace or bracelet set for mom, your BFF, siblings, teammates, lover, or another family member or friend.

A mother-and-daughter necklace set is a unique handmade gift that kids, teens, and adults can make for Mother’s Day, a birthday, Christmas, or any other special occasion. But personalized necklace and bracelet sets aren’t only for grandma or mom (or mum) and her daughters or grandchildren. Personalized jewelry sets can also be made for multiple children, siblings, teammates, classmates, lovers, and BFFs.

And these easy hand-beaded necklaces and bracelets don’t have to be made into a specific set. You can make personalized jewelry for every one of your family members, classmates, or friends if you like. DIY name necklaces with names or inspirational words and phrases make a great gift idea for Mother’s Day, Christmas, an anniversary, a birthday, weddings (bridal parties), and other special occasions.

Bead Options for Mother and Daughter Necklace or Bracelet

We used 8mm round gemstone beads to make the mother-daughter necklace set shown in the photographs. 8mm faceted glass beads would work just as well.
If you are assisting a child that has never strung beads, 10mm round gemstone beads may be a better size and would still look good with the alphabet beads.
For even more options for your necklace or bracelet sets, many other beads come in multiple sizes, including 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm. So use the type and size of beads you like best.
For example, you can use the jewelry-making instructions below with pony beads, colored wooden beads, or unfinished wooden beads. Unfinished wooden beads can be colored or dyed to make them any color you wish, and they come in sizes from 4mm to 30mm. The larger sizes make it easy for beginning jewelry makers to string a simple chunky mother and necklace or bracelet set.
