Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Gather your materials and lay them out on a bead mat or tray to keep everything organized.
2. Cut a length of stringing wire or nylon cord to your desired necklace length, adding a few extra inches for knots or crimping.
3. Thread the crushed gemstones onto the wire or cord, mixing colors and sizes for an organic look.
4. Once you've reached your desired length, leave some space at the end for securing the clasp.
5. If using crimp beads, thread a crimp bead onto the end of the wire, then thread the wire through the clasp loop and back through the crimp bead.
6. Use pliers to crimp the bead tightly, securing the clasp in place. If not using crimp beads, tie a secure knot.
7. Trim any excess wire or cord, ensuring the knots are tight and secure.
8. Your gemstone chip necklace is now ready to wear or gift!
