Rhodolite Garnet and Pearl Necklace with 4 Dangles
This 21 inch necklace uses the following:
-
80 4mm rhodolite garnet beads
-
23 6mm white fresh water pearls
-
4 6mm rhodolite garnet beads
-
4 5mm corrugated sterling silver beads
-
4 head pins
-
2 bead tips and 1 filigree clasp
-
100 inches size 2 nylon beading thread
-
1 medium twisted wire beading needle and flat nose pliers
for attaching the 4 dangles
Use a doubled strand of thread, knotted at the end to hold the beads.
Start by stringing one of the bead tips.
String the beads in this order: 4 garnet beads, 1 pearl, finishing with 4 garnet beads.
Knots are placed between
each bead.
The 4 dangles are created by stringing a silver bead, 6mm garnet and pearl on the 4 head pins. Each pin is then
attached in the middle of the 9th through 12th set of garnet beads. Attach the dangles by forming a loop with the flat nose
pliers around the bead cord. Trim the head pin with wire cutters to leave no gap between the beads and the loop.
Finish with a bead tip. Attach the clasp and enjoy!
