This project really doesn’t know what it wants to be when it grows up.

In today’s video I made a basic strung necklace but it doesn’t really know if it wants to be long or short.

Create this stunning hematite and turquoise necklace with a special twist! Not only will you learn how to design this beautiful piece, but I'll also reveal a clever trick so you can adjust your necklace to four different lengths, giving you versatility and style all in one.
