This necklace weaves together the Egyptian purple Tyrian hue with accents of coral, beige and charcoal. Each side of the cellini spiral centerpiece nestles into a swirly bead cap, transitioning to a bright gold plated rolo chain and complimentary spiral toggle clasp.
Reboot: We have rebooted this project with new end caps for the bead woven focal section. All other components and bead colors remain the same.

Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

This necklace measures 32 inches total. To modify the size, adjust the number of beads woven or adjust the length of chain on each side respectively.

Please watch the video: How to Do A Cellini Spiral in Bead Weaving. Using what you have learned in the video, begin by cutting 4 feet of beading thread, or as much as you feel comfortable working with.
Pick up your first row of beads with your needle in this order: Four 15/0 Beige, Two 11/0 Purple, Two 11/0 Orange, Two 11/0 Brass, Two 8/0 Dark Grey, Two 11/0 Brass, Two 11/0 Orange, Two 11/0 Purple. Pull the beads down your thread, leaving a 12 inch tail. Bring the two sides of the thread together and tie a double overhand knot. Trim your thread.
Take your needle, and go through two of your beige 15/0 beads. You are now ready to begin your bead weaving as seen in the video. As you work, you will need to tie off and add more thread. Weave until you have a 7 inch long cellini spiral.
Now watch the video: How to Make a Necklace With a Cellini Spiral Focal. Apply the techniques shown in this video, weave 4 additional rows of 15/0 beads to taper each end of your bead weaving into a tube shape. Tie off, cut, and weave in your thread. Using the 12 inch tail of thread, repeat this step on the other side of your cellini spiral.
To assemble your necklace, begin by using flush cutters to cut two 12 inch lengths of 3.7mm chain. Set aside.
Then cut 7 inches of 2mm rolo chain and attach the loop of one eye pin onto the end of the chain by opening the loop as you would a jump ring.
Now string one 8/0 seed bead, one cap, and another 8/0 seed bead onto your eye pin, and create a wrapped wire loop (as shown in the video) onto one 6 inch length of 3.7mm chain.
Next, slide the 2mm chain through the center of your beaded focal, eye pin first, as shown in the video. Then repeat the above step to assemble the other side of your necklace, also shown in the video.
To attach your clasp, open a jump ring. Slide it through the last link on one side of the chain, and also slide on the loop of your clasp. Close the jump ring. Open another jump ring. Slide on the last link of chain on the other side of the necklace. Close the jump ring.
Enjoy your necklace!
