    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 have an account with Potomac on my other email & I could not get the free clasp with the long oval so I used my other email address where I don’t have an account with Potomac.  I also I tried to change the free clasp to the gold clasp & couldn’t do it.  I had a hard time trying to get the deal for today.  I would like the gold clasp that was offered with the purchase of long ovals that I want to make & also a pair of earrings.  I am a fairly new customer & have only purchased from Potomac 1 other time.  I have a bead store that I’ve done business with but it’s easier to purchase on-line with free shipping over $75..
