Long Beaded Aventurine Pendulum Necklace

"Complete this pretty, extra-long necklace in less than an hour! It is simply strung onto tigertail - we would often knot between each gemstone bead with this style of necklace, but by using tiny 15/0 seed beads we get the same effect with a lot less effort (and time, yay!). The drop style pendant is often available in many different stone types, or you could use a tassel instead. In terms of length, this necklace has worked out to be about 85cm (34 inches) long. We've used Amethyst and Aventurine gemstones - but you could use any color combination you like!"
