Kai Necklace

Step 1

Cut 25" of strand wire. Slide the beads on in the order shown. The pattern is four apatite beads and one seed bead.

Step 2

This image is from another project, but it is the same process. Slide on a crimp tube, then a wire protector, and back through the crimp tube. Use crimping pliers to crimp the tube. If you can, feed some of the cord through a couple of beads, then trim. Use pliers to cinch in the wire protector. Place the crimp cover over the crimp tube and close with pliers. Attach the jump rings to the wire protectors.

Step 3

Create a bead charm with an eye and a baroque pearl. Slide the pearl onto the eye pin and create a loop at the top using pliers or a looper tool. Attach this bead charm to a 6mm jump ring. Slide a seed bead onto a 4mm jump ring. Make 6-8 of these. Attach them to the jump ring that the baroque pearl is attached to.

Step 4

I used a few extra 6mm jump rings as a chain extender. I embellished the rings with a few more seed bead jump rings and the flower jump ring as well.
