artistic jasper wire wrapped leather necklace

Cut an 8" [20.3 cm] section of chain.

Cut 24" [61 cm] length of wire.

Wrap one end of the wire around the first link of the chain section a few times.

Thread a stone onto the wire and push it up so it is flush against the chain. Bend the wire just past the stone and thread the wire through the next chain link.

Repeat Step 4 across the chain links.

Wrap the end of the wire around the last chain link and trim away excess wire.

Cut two 12" [30.5 cm] piece of leather. Fold each one in half and attach one to each of the end links with a lark’s head knot.

Trim the ends of the leather evenly, if needed, then add glue and push inside a spring coil. Let dry.

Carefully open a loop on one of the spring coils, add a lobster clasp and close the loop.
