I tried working with colored aluminium wire but I still don't get a grip how to create a wire jewelry.
I found this tuto and it's easy enough for me to understand despite the fact I don't speak portuguese :D
First of all just buy a chain at the length of your wish. Some jewelry suppliers sell chain with clasp hook, some don't. It doesn't really matter. If you buy chain without clasp hook then you can decide what kind of closure you want to use for your chain. The chain I use, I bought it in ebay.
Next thing to have is the head pin. I use some head pins with 30mm length since my chain doesn't have big holes on them. You'll need these pins to stuck the pearls in. I bought mine in ebay, they seemed like a good price to me.
Third is the pearl itself. I decided to use the white pearls diameter 6mm. I bought them from website butinette, they come in a box (inside there are approx. 2500 pearls but who's counting?). I like using golden - they make it rich to the appearance :) I have bought golden pearl but haven't used them yet.
Here's how the head pin look with the pearl on when I attached them to the chain:
