A turquoise knotted necklace is easy and fun! In case you have never seen or heard of turquoise knotted necklace before, the basic idea is that you string turquoise beads on a cord, much like you would a simple necklace, and make a knot after each turquoise bead to hold it in place. You can elegantly knot your turquoise beads closely together or create cool styles by spacing them out. This style especially looks fantastic if you use turquoise beads of all different shapes and sizes in the same design. The knotted design is also useful for trendy long necklaces.

You will need a pair of knotting tweezers to make small, clean knots. Or you can get a bead cord knotter to make things easier. Also, pick out some thick nylon beading chord (black looks great) and a clasp. While you think of how you want your turquoise necklace to look, keep in mind that knots will use up your material and add length to your necklace. To be on the safe side, add several inches to however long you want your turquoise knotted necklace to be.

Now all you have to do is string your turquoise beads, knotting them as you go. You may want a knot before and after each turquoise bead or a knot before and after groups of beads. In order for your knots to appear neat, try to pull each one in the same direction. You want your knots to be secure, but making them too tight will cause the cord to twist up, instead of laying flat. And you should always use the thickest cord that will fit through your turquoise beads. Otherwise, the beads may slip over the knot.
