Tereza revisits a basic beading technique - stringing pearls - in her latest beading and jewelry making tutorial from PotomacBeads. This is great information if you want to make your own pearl necklace, or fix a piece of family heirloom jewelry.
Prepare the End: Start by threading a knot cover onto the silk cord, tie a knot (or double for security), apply a dab of glue, and let it dry before closing the knot cover.
Stringing Pearls: Slide a pearl down to the knot cover, tie an overhand knot right after the pearl, ensuring it’s tight and close to the pearl.
Continue Knotting: Repeat the process for each pearl, ensuring knots are tight and pearls are evenly spaced.
Adjusting Length and Straightness: After stringing, adjust the strand by pulling gently to ensure the length is even and the pearls lie straight.
Finishing the Necklace: Repeat the process for the second strand, ensuring both strands are of equal length. Finish by attaching knot covers and clasps to both ends.
Final Touches: Make any necessary adjustments to ensure the necklace fits perfectly. Trim any excess cord and ensure all components are securely fastened.

Wish the beads were in order by color. Also, had a hard time placing the order initially with many errors, I contacted your customer service by email, but did not hear back. I tried again today & he order went through fine. Thanks you.
