HOW TO REPURPOSE OLD AND BROKEN JEWELERY January 30, 2024
Finishing a nylon thread necklace to add a clasp and a back chain
Nylon threads are the most commonly stringing material in Indian jewellery. They are used as a single strand or multiple strands depending on the size and the weight of the bead, the size of the hole, and the fall of the necklace. Jewellery designers will need to consider this aspect of the stringing material while designing the necklace. And not to forget the color of the nylon threads. The most commonly available colors are white, black, and mango yellow. The jewellery karigars always use these threads to create their jewellery. And follow the traditional methods of making the necklaces. They use a make-shift necklace created with zari threads to string the beads onto the threads.
It is a wonder to watch the karigars work with these needles and threads while they quickly create the necklaces. Here, in this post, I have shared a couple of videos where the karigars are adding the clasps to the nylon thread necklace. The video may not be very clear, but I would encourage you to ask any queries you have regarding these techniques so I can share my learnings with you. I have been working with the karigars for years and I have watched them working through the layers of necklaces each time with wonder!
So, sit back and enjoy the video while you learn some techniques for making your jewellery.
Create your best,
