Find the centre of the strand of labradorite. You will use approx 21cm's of the strand for each side of the necklace, cut the strand at the centre take off a few rondelles from the centre point until you are left with approx a 21cm length for each side of the necklace, leave these lengths on the strand. Cut a length of beading thread longer than you need approx 80cm's long, thread on the pendant through the jump ring then a 4mm spacer bead and 3cm's of labradorite rondelles, repeat twice more adding spacer beads and rondelles ending with a spacer bead, add the remaining 11 cm's of the labradorite rondelles, then add a crimp bead and a bolt ring clasp.
