Knotted Chakra Necklace
by Elaina W on 08/26/21
About this design:
To create this Mala-style necklace, I used gemstones representing the 7 Chakras: root (red jasper), sacral (tiger eye), solar plexus (yellow calcite), heart (green aventurine), throat (Sodalite), third eye (lapis), and crown (amethyst & rock crystal). In place of the guru bead found in a typical Mala necklace, I used a Czech Glass flower of life coin & a thread tassel. The finished necklace ends up being pretty long, so I suggest wearing it doubled up.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Chakra Mix 8mm Energy Tubes
- Lava Rock 6mm Rounds
- Rock Crystal 8mm Energy Tubes
- Czech Glass Flower of Life Coin
- Lotus Charm
- Chinese Knotting Cord
- Jet Thread Tassel
- Coconut Shell
- Gold Stardust 6mm Rounds
- Super Glue
- Beading Needle

Beady Little Eyes says:I agree – so pretty. Love the use of the flower of life instead of the guru bead.

Crystal Canary says:Such a rainbow of color to enjoy! Love the feel of knotted necklaces. With the mixed bead strands, there are many colorful creations to make. Love the new Czech flower beads too–only wish they were a bit lower in price. Nice work Elaina!
