This necklace measures approximately 20 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the number of beads strung respectively.

Begin by cutting 24 inches of beading wire and placing a bead stopper on one end.
Next string on the beads in the following order: 5 silver bicones, 10 peach, 1 silver, 1 wood, 1 silver, 1 peach, 1 silver, 1 peach, 1 silver, 1 peach, 1 silver, 1 peach, 1 silver, 1 peach, 1 silver, 1 wood, 1 silver, 1 wood, 1 silver, 1 wood, 1 silver, 1 wood, 1 silver, 1 wood, 1 silver, 10 peach, and 1 silver.
Then string on: 1 wood, 1 Heishi, 1 amethyst, 1 Heishi, 1 wood, 1 Heishi, 1 amazonite, 1 Heishi, 1 wood, 1 Heishi, and 1 amethyst. Next, repeat this whole pattern in reverse order to match the first side, starting with 1 Heishi bead.
To attach the clasp, string on one magical crimp and thread the wire up and over a thread protector, attaching one lobster clasp and back down through the crimp tube. Using the magical crimping pliers, crimp the crimp tube. Trim any excess wire.
Move to the other side of the necklace and remove the bead stopper and repeat the above process attaching one closed jump ring instead of the lobster clasp.
