Simply Turquoise Pendant and Leather Cord Necklace

Tammy Powley
Turquoise is more popular than ever, and the look of leather with a chunky pendant is also a look that seems to be around the neck of all kinds of celebrities. The look is simple and so is the technique. You can make this necklace and have it around your neck in just a few minutes.

You'll need the following:

18 inches of 1mm Leather cord
1 Sterling hook and eye clasp
1 - 2 inch Sterling head pin
2 - 4mm Daisy spacer beads
1 Imitation coral teardrop bead
1 Large oval turquoise bead
Scissors
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers

What to know why I chose to use imitation coral instead of the real deal? Read Coral: Cool or Cruel? for details.
