Noble Truth Necklace Tutorial

Ensure your Dakota Stones 8mm red brecciated jasper round beads will fit on the Red Griffin Silk bead cord. If you need to, enlarge the stringing hole with a bead reamer.

Add the following pattern to your cord:

• One TierraCast antique silver-plated pewter flowering cone
• One red gemstone bead
• One 8mm briolette bead in Crystal Paradise Shine
• 13 red gemstone beads
• One briolette
• One TierraCast antique silver-plated pewter lotus bead cap
• One TierraCast antique silver-plated pewter Asian coin pendant
• One lotus bead cap
• One briolette
• Two red gemstone beads
• One lotus bead cap, one Buddha dangle, and another lotus bead cap
• Two red gemstone beads
• One briolette
• One lotus bead cap

Add the TierraCast antique silver-plated pewter Eightfold Path pendant to the strand and make a mirror image of the bead pattern on the other side of the pendant.

Make sure there is enough silk cord on each end of the pattern to leave about a six-inch tail on each end. Knot the cord above the flowering cone on one end and repeat on the other end. You may have to knot several times to make a knot large enough to keep the beads in place.

Leave your cord long at the ends of the necklace so you can tie the necklace to the desired length. You can attach a 2-inch red tassel with gold ring to each end of your necklace or you can make your own tassel with any leftover Griffin silk.
