This necklace measures 30" long and does not have a clasp. You can also wear it as a wrap bracelet.
- Begin by cutting 25 inches of beading wire using your flush cutters. I have already included 3" on each side to allow for crimping.
- Add a crimp bead to one end of the wire length, slide it through the last link on one side of your length of matte gold chain and bring the wire back through the crimp bead. Pull snug. Crimp your crimp bead using your crimping pliers. Snip off any excess wire using your wire cutters.
- Next you will begin stringing beads onto your wire length. String on one pyrite cube bead, 1 long drop bead, 1 blue jasper bead, 1 long drop bead, 1 orange sea glass bead, 1 long drop bead, 1 blue jasper bead and 1 long drop bead.
- Repeat this sequence 13 more times, followed by a crimp bead.
- Take the wire through the last link on the opposite side of your chain length and back through the crimp bead. Pull snug and crimp your crimp bead using your crimping pliers. Snip off any excess wire using your flush cutters.
- You're done!
