Making a Jade and Leather Necklace
I went through my stones this morning trying to decide what piece of jewelry I could make.  I re-discovered this lovely jade pendant that I bought several years ago.  It's been so long that I can't remember where I bought it.

I decided to use leather as the holder for the pendant because I want to wear it with casual clothing.

I used a long silver head pin through the bottom of the stone to hold it in place on the leather cord.  I also added a couple of small green beads at the top and the bottom of the stone.

I made a simple circle with the head pin rather than use a standard pendant holder.  I wanted this necklace to be very simple in style.  I actually tried to use a different leather cord that was smaller, but it would only go half way through the stone.

I added a slip knot on one side at the top of the leather cord.  I would have made two slip knots but my leather cord was not long enough to accommodate two.  I can slip the necklace over my head to put it on and it hangs at just the right length.

Enjoy your day.
