Notes:
- Please Use only fired ghungroo beads. In between each of the thread beads, I have used 20 ghungroo beads, making it a total of 120.
- How to make ghungroo beads: • How to make stick bead...
- Adjust the tone of gold as per your choice. If you like it brighter then stick to bright gold. If you want them slightly antique, add very very little black to the gold.
- You can paint the beads in batches. Sometimes they tend to stick to each other so I would highly recommend painting in small batches.
- You can skip the thread beads if you want them all gold.
- Jump rings are optional, you can also directly connect the gear wire to the loop of the necklace dori.
- For cluster bead necklace, I prefer varnishing after the assembling has been done. Please do it carefully so that the varnish doesn't go on the thread beads.
