Succumb to the finesse of these necklaces made with our traditional heishi beads! We have redesigned our famous essential surfer necklaces for summer with tangy colors, a chain thatcompletes the stringing and pendants. A true summer jewel to wear during the day, at the beach, in the evening... and to customize in the colors of your choice! This tutorial is very easy to do so go ahead and try it!

Take your silk thread and thread a crimp bead. Pass through the clasp ring then again through the crimp bead. Make a double knot at the edge of the clasp then place the crimp bead on the knot. Flatten it with flat pliers. Start threading the Heishi beads alternating colors. Feel free to play with the rhythm of 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, about 20cm, place the pendant then continue symmetrically to finish the other part of the necklace. Then, thread a crimp bead and an extension chain of about 3cm. Pass back through the crimp bead. Make a double knot well positioned at the edge of the beads then place the crimp bead on the knot before flattening it.
Make sure to keep flexibility in the necklace before flattening the bead. To bring life to your creation, I recommend using at least 2 colors of Heishi beads. For the necklace with the chain, the assembly will be almost the same except that you will cut 2 pieces of chain of 10cm. You will connect the Heishi bead strand to the ends of the chains. And to attach the clasp, use 4mm rings. |
