Namibia Necklace Tutorial

Open the eye of the eye of the gold-filled 2-inch eye pin to attach a 2-inch turquoise tassel with gold ring. Close the eye once attached.

Slide a JBB gold-plated pewter textured double bead cap onto the eye pin, followed by a 4mm Czech glass round bead in champagne luster, a 5041 large-hole briolette bead, another round bead, a double bead cap, and a Dakota Stones matte cuprite 6mm round bead. We used a briolette bead featured as a gift with purchase for December 2017. This bead is no longer available for purchase, but you can use similar beads, listed in our Perfect Product Pairings below. Make a wrapped loop at the top of the beads.

Wrapped Loop Tutorial

Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 22 inches long. Slide a 14K/20 gold-filled 2x2mm crimp tube onto the wire, followed by a 14K/20 gold-filled 5mm 20.5 gauge open round jump ring attached to half of the 14K/20 gold-filled 12mm toggle clasp. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide the crimp with a 3mm gold-filled crimp cover.

Crimp Cover Tutorial

Add a Czech glass 2x3mm matte bronze faceted roundel bead to the wire, followed by a 4mm faceted round in Crystal Golden Shadow. Then, add the following pattern to the strand:

• Three cuprite beads
• One faceted round
• One Czech glass bead
• One faceted round
• Five cuprite beads
• One faceted round
• One Czech glass bead
• One faceted round

Repeat the pattern two times, then add three cuprite beads, a faceted round, and a Czech glass bead. Slide the tassel focal onto the strand and make a mirror image of the bead patter on the other side of the focal.

Slide a crimp tube onto the strand, followed by a jump ring attached to the other half of the clasp. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide the crimp with a crimp cover.
