This is a 19″ hemp necklace designed for men (it’s a bit thicker than normal). It contains 6 cowrie shells and a BUNCH of metallic colored plastic beads. I started off with regular square knot and adding the metallic beads. I strung the cowrie shells by adding a jump ring to either end of the shell and stringing one outer thread through the top and one through the bottom.
This necklace has a natural bend to fit comfortably around a neck.
