Seven faceted natural stones, seven colors, from the gold of citrine to the deep blue of lapis lazuli. Hung at regular intervals on a fine gold chain, they draw a subtle rainbow at the base of your neck and catch the light with every facet.
A radiant gift to slip under the Christmas tree, or a treat for yourself, to wear alone or layered with other fine chains.
Tools needed: flat-nose pliers, bent flat-nose pliers, side cutters
Don't have your pliers yet? The trio of flat-nose pliers, bent flat-nose pliers and side cutters will be with you for all your creations.
Add the 3 pink pliers — 17.85 €Cut a piece of chain to the length of your choice. Here, about 38 cm for the necklace.
Find the center of the chain. Open a 5 mm jump ring with the two flat-nose pliers, slip the first pendant and the center link onto it, then close the ring properly.
Count 8 links from the center pendant, then attach the next pendant to the 8th link. Continue this way on each side until all seven natural stone pendants are in place. Make sure you position the jump rings in the right direction for the natural drape of the chain: your pendants will then hang properly.
At one end, attach the lobster clasp with a 3 mm jump ring. At the other, attach the clasp tag with a second 3 mm jump ring. Your necklace is finished.
Before attaching each jump ring, let the chain hang and see which way the links fall. Open the ring in that direction: the pendant stays facing forward and the rainbow unfolds evenly. To recreate the order in the photo, attach from left to right: citrine, moonstone, red jasper, amethyst in the center, peridot, aventurine, lapis lazuli.
For a complete set, pair it with the rainbow chakra gemstone bracelet. You can also reduce the spacing to 5 links for a fuller necklace, or keep just three stones for a more minimalist version.
Seven stones, seven chakras — harmony in color
