Succumb to the delicacy of these necklaces made with our traditional heishi beads!

We have reimagined our famous essential surfer necklaces for the summer with vibrant colors, a chain that comesto complete the threading and pendants.

A true summer gem to wear during the day, at the beach, in the evening... and to personalize in the colors of your choice!

This tutorial is very easy to do so let yourself be tempted!

For this creation you need:

6mm Heishi beads
24K Gold metal pendants
Of the chain
4mm rings
Silk thread
Crimp beads
A clasp
Of the extension chain

The assembly:

Take your silk thread and thread a crimp bead. Pass through the clasp ring and then back through the crimp bead. Make a double knot at the edge of the clasp and then place the crimp bead on the knot. Flatten it with flat pliers.

Start threading the Heishi beads by alternating colors. Don't hesitate to play with the rhythm of the colors, choose a regular repetition or let your imagination speak by creating gradients...

To add contrast, play with colors and rhythm!

Once you reach the center of the necklace, at about 20cm, place the pendant and then go back symmetrically to finish the other part of the necklace.

Then, thread a crimp bead and a chain extension of about 3cm. Pass back through the crimp bead. Make a well-positioned double knot at the edge of the beads and then place the crimp bead on the knot before flattening it.

Make sure to keep some flexibility in the necklace before flattening the bead.

To bring life to your creation, I advise you to use at least 2 colors of Heishi beads.

For the necklace with the chain, the assembly will be almost similar except that you will cut 2 pieces of chain of 10cm. You will connect the Heishi bead threading to the ends of the chains. And to attach the clasp, use 4mm rings.

And there you go! Beautiful creation!
