DIY: Crystal Necklace

Not too long ago, I did a post about the raw minerals trend and a few DIY ideas. I DIYed one based on some of the tutorials from the post and made things up as I went along. Lynoire from Space Unicorn also made a quartz necklace, so check hers out too!
finished
cool-shaped crystal (I got this quartz at a New Age bookstore for $12) and 3 pieces of thread (not 2 as pictured). The thread I used is string crochet cotton/nylon blend thread.

wrap strategically around the crystal's natural grooves

do the same with the other 2 strings





after wrapping, I made a few macrame knots
I crocheted the single strands into ropes
had to add extra thread to the chain because my original threads were too short...you can kinda see the seams.

wearing it
I'm kind of wondering why I made a white-on-white necklace when most of my clothing is black. Can you wear a white necklace with dark fashion?
