Make our turquoise necklace in an hour or less

We combined green-hued turquoise beads with

amber chips and a carnelian pendant to create a

sensational look for spring and summer. If you’re new to

beading, the techniques are easy to learn – simply string a few small

beads to make a loop for the pendant, then string the necklace, add a clasp,

and crimp the wire ends. For an easier project, look for a pendant that comes with

its own bail, the jeweler’s term for the pendant’s connecting loop.

1. Thread a beading needle with about

1 ft. (31cm) of Fireline or Nymo. Go

through the pendant’s hole from back

to front. String about an inch (2.54cm)

of beads. The finished loop should be

long enough to hold the pendant just

below the necklace beads.

2. Go through the hole and beads again

for extra strength. Remove the needle.

Pull the thread ends in opposite

directions to tighten the beads into

a loop.

3. To tie the thread ends together, use a

surgeon’s knot: take the left thread over

the right and around. Tighten the

threads.

Take the right over the left thread twice

and pull tight. Glue the knot and let it

dry. Hide the thread tails in a few

neighboring beads and trim the excess.

4. Determine the desired finished

length of your necklace (ours is

18 1 ⁄ 2 in./47cm including clasp). String

the turquoise and amber chips onto

the beading wire in a repeating pattern.

5. At the halfway point, string the

pendant. Continue until your necklace

is the desired length.

seed bead, and the clasp. Then go back

through the seed bead, the crimp, and

at least one turquoise bead.
