    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Your Materials: Choose your gemstones and 11/0 seed beads, deciding on a stringing material (beading wire or silk cord).
    Prepare the Stringing Material: If using silk, pre-stretch it to avoid future stretching. For wire, cut to the desired length.
    Start Stringing: Begin with a knot or crimp bead, then alternate between gemstones and seed beads for spacing. Maintain a consistent pattern or opt for randomness to suit your style.
    Finishing: Secure the end with another knot inside a knot cover (for silk) or with a crimp bead (for wire). Attach the clasp and any decorative charms.
    Wear & Enjoy: Style your Good Karma Bracelet/Necklace as desired, embracing its versatility and the unique touch it adds to any outfit.

    I miss your retail store. It is so hard to match beads online. I don't want to over order so i can see beads together. Any thoughts to sample boards?

    It is disappointing when you don’t have all the beads needed to complete a project. Other than that I love the site
