The brown macramé gemstone necklace cord
This hand-knotted waxed-cotton necklace cord is a simple yet very flexible jewellery base. The wooden-bead knot design lets you hold your own pocket-stone, semi-precious stone or rough crystal in place, and swap it out for another stone at any time. So the necklace is not a static ornament — it is a piece of jewellery with changeable content.
How can you use it?
If you love crystals and like to swap them according to occasion or mood, this cord is ideal for you. The brown colour pairs especially well with stones chosen to your own taste, and also combines well with clothing. It is useful for makers and gift creators too: a nicely packed cord together with a small stone makes a personal gift to which the recipient can add their own stones later.
How to insert the stone
The wooden-bead knot can be loosened and re-tightened — so it accepts a wide variety of stone sizes, from smaller pocket-stones to medium rough crystals. Insertion takes a few seconds: loosen the knot, slide the stone in, then pull the knot tight again. Swapping the pendant works the same way — no extra tools are needed.
Material and care
The cord is waxed cotton, which handles occasional contact with water well — it is not damaged by light rain or in the bathroom. Prolonged soaking, swimming-pool or sea water are best avoided, however, as they may degrade the wax coating over time. The wooden beads are also more sensitive to lasting moisture, so it is best to remove the necklace before showering or swimming.
