Hematite Tapered Necklace!

 Hematite Tapered Necklace!
PandaHall sent me some Jewelry Supplies in exchange for a week of tutorials!
This hematite necklace has a couple varieties...see what you like best!
You will need:
 Graduated Hematite Beads
6mm Hematite Beads

 I started by using fishing line and tying it to a barrel clasp.

 I beaded on the round hematite beads...

 Then the tapered beads...

 Then beads and tied off the barrel clasp.

 Then string the line back through the round beads and clip off.

 Finished necklace...or so I thought.
Stringing it this way actually made the necklace too stiff.

 So I took the necklace apart and used just a single string of fishing line
and used crimp beads to attach the string to the clasp.
Then just the tapered beads and no round beads.
It hangs much more beautifully now!
