String the following pattern between each nailhead: 5 black size 11 seed beads, a 4mm druk, and 5 black size 11 seed beads. As you pass through the top hole of each nailhead, pull the wire snugly. The necklace will form a curve as you work. You may need to adjust the number of seed beads that you string on either side of the 4mm druk to ensure that the necklace drapes smoothly and does not bunch up too much.

On a 22” length of gold beading wire, pick up a crimp tube, and the top of one half of the clasp. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp tube and crimp using crimping pliers. String 2 black size 11 seed beads and pass beading wire through the top of the first nailhead.
