Satin Cord Necklace with Gemstone Beads & Charms

This necklace is different from what you are used to: satin cord on both sides, with the natural beauty of gemstone beads and charms in the middle. You don't have to be a jewelry expert because this necklace is very simple to make yourself but the result looks super stylish and unique, before you know it you will be wearing your own creation!

Fold a piece of approx 60cm of satin cord in half and glue the ends into an end cap. Attach a lobster clasp to this. Now cut 20cm of copper wire, bend this around the middle of the satin cord and twist an eyelet. Attach a jumpring to all the charms and then alternately thread gems and charms onto the copper wire. Now repeat the first step with the satin cord, twist an eyelet into the copper wire and glue the ends of the cord into a second end cap. Add an extension chain for adjustable length.
