Carietta necklace with glass cabochons by Puca

How to make a necklace?

In this tutorial, make a long necklace entirely from a mix of Beads by Puca®. Combine 8mm glass cabochons with Baros and Konos glass beads by Puca® to create a long sautoir. The suggested necklace measures 1m40 in total and can be worn as a double sautoir around the neck.

The necklace is made by repeating two strings of beads. One is a stringing of Baros and Konos beads by Puca on a nylon thread, the other a sequence of 8 mm cabochon spacers. The first string (Baros / Konos) measures 7 cm, the second (cabochons) 12 cm (7 spacers). You can, of course, vary the length of the sequences themselves for faster repetition of the pattern. You can also simply vary the overall length of the creation to make a shorter necklace (approx. 80cm) or a longer necklace (approx. 50cm).

This tutorial is particularly suitable for beginners, as it doesn't require any prior technical knowledge, but because of the length involved, it will take some time to complete, so patience is essential.

At the bottom of the page you'll find a list of the materials you'll need to make a version identical to the one suggested in the images. Alternatively, take a look at the list of "variations" to find out what colors of 8mm glass cabochons are available.
