Gemstone Leather Necklace with Leather Knot Tutorial -

Leather necklaces with a gemstone pendant are easy to make once you get the basic sliding/slip leather knot down. Check out our easy tutorial to tying a gemstone necklace of your own.

The functionality of the sliding knot is mainly what it states, it slides. When you make a sliding knot, you are making a knot over the other leather piece so that the other piece slides back and forth, which can make a necklace or bracelet adjustable. You can check out our previous blog post on making a sliding knot.

If you’ve watched the video, you will see that we’ve altered the first portion of the necklace video by creating a two, coiled sliding knot to pinch the leather together at the top of the pendant. This will create somewhat of a bail so that pendant swingings nicely back and forth.
