A Black Agate Bead Necklace

1   Cut a piece of beading wire to the desired length. We have chosen the deluxe beading wire which has 19 strands. It is more soft and flexible and “hangs” better. Thread three different sizes of agate beads and a couple of silver beads onto the wire.

2   Close the necklace as follows: finish each side with a crimp bead and a small bead. Thread each end through the three beads on the opposite side as shown. Pull the wire tightly and squeeze the crimp beads flat with flat nose pliers.
