Jasper & Pearl Long Mala Necklace

"This is a simply strung, long Mala style necklace that you could complete in less than an hour! Rather than knotting between each bead, we have been sneaky and used size 15/0 seed beads as spacers instead. This makes this project super fun and easy to create. We have used lovely natural Green Jasper and Picture Jasper gemstone beads, as well as some large peanut shaped Freshwater pearls. But you could swap these beads out for any colors or styles that take your fancy! Finish it off with a tassel, an voila! Easy Mala!"
