The Basilica necklace features stunning 8mm czech glass cathedral beads flanked by two kumihimo beaded ropes capped with exquisitely detailed TierraCast findings. A clever braiding technique turns the kumihimo portions into beaded beads and the entire piece is strung on Soft Flex wire. Basilica is a project suitable for all levels.
If this is your very first beaded kumihimo project, please review our Beaded Kumihimo Starter Guide before beginning your necklace.
