Brecciated Jasper Donut & Carnelian Necklace

This necklace is perfect for a jewellery making beginner! Combine gorgeous brecciated jasper and carnelian to create a design that really stands out!

Please note the leather thonging is sold as a 5m length so can be used in multiple projects!

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut the leather thonging to the length you would like your necklace and fold the leather thonging in half and push the folded end through the top of the gemstone donut, then thread the ends through so the donut hangs from the middle of the cord.

2. Thread the carnelian bead through the top of the cords to sit on top of the gemstone donut.

3. Insert one of the thread ends into the crimp and gently squeeze the central band of the crimp part with snipe nose pliers to grip it firmly.

4. Repeat on the other end of the thread with the crimp with hook.

5. Fasten the hook and loop and your necklace is complete!

Kernowcraft's jewellery making kits are aimed to inspire you - therefore the step by step instructions are available online only with a shopping list, where you can easily customise the design to suit you. We recommend printing or bookmarking this page ready to follow.

The suggested products used in this project are suggestions to inspire you. Products used were compatible at the time of making but do be aware that gemstones are natural and hand cut stocks can vary, so do use your own common sense as to the compatibility of each item when making.
