Make a statement with the sparkling Classic Elegance. Whether you're brand new to kumihimo or a long time fan, this is one of those projects that is just soooo relaxing to braid. Both the 4mm fire polished and size 8 seed beads are easy to string with the included big-eye needle and once the braid is underway these two different bead sizes naturally nestle against each other in an elegant spiral. We finish off the Classic Elegance necklace with TierraCast endcaps and a coordinating magnetic clasp.
A stunning necklace for braiders of all skill levels, even beginners, that does not need a pendant or focal to make a splash. Previous experience with the basic round braid (kongoh gumi) on the foam disk is helpful, but not required. If this is your very first beaded kumihimo project, please review our Beaded Kumihimo Starter Guide before beginning your necklace.
