Making a Victorian Jet Necklace // DIY Beading Tutorial

Today I'll be talking you through how I made this sparkling black gothic necklace inspired by Victorian jet mourning jewelry! I had started looking for a necklace to wear with the costume I'm making and couldn't really find anything in my price range, so I decided to DIY some "jet" jewelry. I have been beading for even longer than I have been sewing, and really enjoy it as a "hobby" in my "off" time...whatever those things are. I hope you all enjoy this tutorial and let me know if you would like to see more jewelry making and crafting in the future!
