Rudraksha (Shiva's Teardrops) are traditionally used alone with 108 beads knotted on a black or red cord with 1 extra used as the guru - total 109 beads. I tend to lean more non-traditional when I make jewelry so, I have blended the Rudraksha with matte Tibetan style agate, an African turquoise guru bead and a hand-dyed silk ribbon tassel.
The products used in this project are listed below.
Cut 3.5 meters of cord, placing an overhand knot in the middle. Begin stringing on your beads on one side. Knot in between each bead. TIP - If you pull your next bead against the knot, it will secure the knot in place. 27 Matte Tibetan Style Agate, 20 Rudraksha, 3 Matte Tibetan Style Agate, 4 Rudraksha = 54 beads
Repeat the pattern from Step 1 on the other side = 108 beads
String on your guru bead.
Make a tassel using hand-dyed silk ribbon and attach to the necklace using the tails of waxed linen remaining after you have strung the guru bead.
