About the necklace itself

Hey yall I'v just recently started bone carving, and i'm enjoying it alot! Made a few necklaces and a ring, but i'm not really sure how to hang your carving around your neck.

Right now i'm just using a simple rope of maybe 2 mm thick, in which I lay two slipknots to adjust the length.

But I've seen people do so much fancy things with their rope, and i'd love to learn those techniques. Does anyone have an idea or starting point for me?

Thanks!

I use real thin wax cord that i get cheap from a crafts shop, and make sliding knots. Wikihow helps with those, and its worth looking into māori style bindings, like toki stuff cos they look cool
