Change Colors: Switch to a new gemstone color every inch, ensuring a diverse and balanced design. Add Pendant: Attach the Athena cast lotus flower pendant near the clasp for added charm. Finish Necklace: Secure the end with another wire guard and clasp, tying knots and burning thread ends for a neat finish. Adjust Length: Ensure the necklace is approximately 15 inches long for a comfortable fit. Final Touches: Trim any excess thread, check the necklace for durability, and enjoy your handmade "Feeling Good" gemstone necklace.
